Still Loving Retirement

Still love retirement. Though I'm on a very fixed, very low income, my body, mind and spirit are so much happier and "healthy" than when I was pushing myself every day, all day. I am on SNAP and Medicaid, so very grateful for these survival necessities. I spend only what is necessary, and don't miss "shopping just to shop." I used to have to buy clothes for work, food for work, snacks for work...pay for transportation to and from work. All, done and over with. By 2:30 or 3:00PM every weekday, I was in pain and exhausted. Though my chronic spine and bone and joint issues will always exist, now I move at my own pace and at my own ability to do so. I discarded all the emails to and from my employers when I was employed, that I had saved "just in case", all gone now! My primary had predicted these changes would occur, bless him! I go to some free classes at the local Senior Center, very nice. My days are spent with my wonderful kitties, and I stay in touch with the world every day, online. PBS and NPR are my constant companions. This is not a bad life, at all. I am blessed with great family, friends and neighbors, who assist with transportation when necessary. I thank God each and every day!
