It was a tough decision and I second guessed myself for several weeks. <br />I've been planning all the things I'll be able to do now. I totally agree on the jammies thing so I've never been one to hang around the house in them.

I can't imagine how hard it must be to be forced to stop doing something you loved so much. Keep looking on the brighter side of things though and think about how much time you will now have to do all those things you have been putting off for so long. You will now have more time to spend in Mexico also, which is a good thing. <br />Chin up, it's a whole new world out there for you now, think of the possibilities you have in front of you.Brenda Maashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03451724306271286173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553308714264267273.post-84115056449649786862013-09-29T07:25:09.777-06:002013-09-29T07:25:09.777-06:00There is a big difference between choosing to reti...There is a big difference between choosing to retire and being forced to retire. You are one of the lucky ones because you had a job you loved. <br /><br />It takes awhile to get used to being retired, but soon you will wonder how you ever had time to work! Just remember to get out of your jammies every day, no matter what. Very little gets accomplished in jammies.<br /><br />See you soon!<br />regards,<br />Theresa<br />Theresa in Mèridahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17217945138741786373noreply@blogger.com
