Taking advantage of the season to work indoors. We are downsizing.
Organizing and donating tons of stuff.
There are so many gorgeous and amazing places to see, and things to do.
Ohhh... it's gettin' exciting!
For those of you that are retired, let me know what you enjoy most about retirement.
Also, what advice do you have for people that are about to become retired?
Attitude of Gratitude:
Thankful for a life filled with blessings.
Thankful for this season in my life.
Grateful for good health.
I love your sunsets. Everything looks so nice and pretty at your house. I bet you are so excited about your trailer.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear all about it. Have a lovely day.
Your photographs are just beautiful! Sounds like you are ready for retirement with getting that travel trailer! Exciting times ahead for sure. Freedom to do what you want, when you want and the joy of living life to it's fullest is awaiting you!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day~

wonderful views....
ReplyDeletehave a great day
Wow that sky is amazing.
ReplyDeleteWe've done the travel trailer thing and it was wonderful. You have many adventures to look forward to.
What we like about retirement is just to be able to do what you want.
Can't wait! Maybe we should throw away the clock ~LOL!
DeleteHi Kerin!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous sunset...wow!! I just love the colors in a winter sunset!
Retirement!! We love being retired, and we love being together, it's awesome! But, the one piece of advise that I would give you is to make time for you. Retirement is wonderful, but sometimes, I feel like I don't have time to do the things that I want to do, by myself. My husband worked 12-16 hour days when he worked, so I had lots of time to do my own thing. Being together 24-7 can be a little much... ;0) My husband needs time for himself as well. We do tons of fun things together, but of course each year that passes makes us wonder how long we will be able to do the "adventurous" things we like to do...mostly with the trailer. We don't like campgrounds, so it's hard work when we go camping. We are seriously thinking about going south in the winter, cold and snow are almost too much for us...makes us lazy. Just enjoy not having to set an alarm everyday! It's a blank canvas!!
Hugs and Love,
Barb
Hello you! I've missed your posts and visits! I am glad that all is well and you are downsizing away! We are too and it is a long process, I tell you! Your scenic photos are breathtaking!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to hear from you again! The sunset is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteSo exciting to look forward to travel. :)
Those are lovely sunset photos!
ReplyDeleteExciting for you! You will have to show pictures of the travel trailer.
Something that happened to us was that we slowed down, not always looking at the clock. We find ourselves sitting on the front porch enjoying watching the birds in the feeder, or building a fire in the fire pit and just enjoying the afternoon (just the two of us) roasting a hot dog, laughing . . . enjoying the moments and reflecting on our life together. It's better than a honeymoon, because now you really know what love is all about.
ReplyDeleteRunning around keeping schedules, doing chores in between everything else . . . that life is gone!
Hello Happy Retirement!
Congratulations.
Connie :)
Kerin, I am so excited for you. To get your new trailer is the start of a wonderful time. I loved the first part of retirement and had lots of plans. We did get the motorhome and we did travel a bit but now it seems we are just becoming homebodies, and that is what I like best about retirement..Your sunset is gorgeous!!..Happy Wednesday..xxoJudy
ReplyDeleteStunning photos of the sky!
ReplyDeleteRetirement, sounds wonderful.
You will enjoy traveling and seeing places that are all new to you, how exciting.
We're not there yet, but soon enough.
Bless you ♡
For me retirement is about no commitments and staying home. I traveled some when I worked but I am truly homebody but maybe by the time you are my age you'll want to stay home too. But if you were a stay at home Mom then you probably want to go.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I told you but my ex and his wife retired to St. George. My daughter went with the grands last summer and saw the sights but said it was really hot! She and I love the snow so it probably wouldn't be a good fit for us. I love where you live now! It's gorgeous! But I can understand why people don't want to deal with snow anymore. But when you're retired you don't have to. I never shoveled or plowed my drive. The dogs would make a path for me to the garage and I had 4 wheel drive so I just went down the drive with it. I love a good snowstorm! Your trip looked fascinating!
