Sometimes when I think about the endlessness of retirement it's a bit scary too. I'm still hopeful that this is transitional and a new life is about to emerge. Practice retirement is a good idea though.Sylvia Bhttp://www.forthefirstime.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601819916630680133.post-79571428902967158322009-04-05T09:28:00.000-07:002009-04-05T09:28:00.000-07:00Grace - so glad you're doing okay and recovering w...Grace - so glad you're doing okay and recovering with such ease!

I wasn't housebound, though; that would have made it much worse.<BR/><BR/>For those who say "enjoy the downtime," I say, "the grass is always greener." Yes, it's good to slow down, but completely stop? Not so good for folks like us.<BR/><BR/>Glad you are recovering quickly!CT Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13540680943713937060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601819916630680133.post-71770014679631916482009-04-03T15:38:00.000-07:002009-04-03T15:38:00.000-07:00A few years ago I switched jobs and instead of hav...A few years ago I switched jobs and instead of having 10 days off between jobs, I had close to 21. After 10 days I was bored senseless. I wasn't a traveling, I had not impending DIY projects to do, No one else was off an around to hang out with. Most of my friends were jealous, oh you have all this time off. I could not wait to get back to work.....Bouncing Backhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07617312829656028772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601819916630680133.post-79973193066278983922009-04-03T12:53:00.000-07:002009-04-03T12:53:00.000-07:00Boredom is probably good after such major surgery....Boredom is probably good after such major surgery.
