Low energy maybe? If I retire I will fight to keep from laying down too much and watching too much tv. I have a touch of agoraphobia too.

Only this weekend my wife and I were out walking in our local national park and I thought it would be a good idea to become a park ranger. Outside in beautiful surroundings, helping people. Go for it Syd.Findonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08029106119199508890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-61705590138040991492009-01-06T21:03:00.000-05:002009-01-06T21:03:00.000-05:00"Keeper of the Waters" Sounds like a service to th..."Keeper of the Waters" Sounds like a service to the king.<BR/><BR/>or, "Mom, when I grow up I want to be a WaterKeeper".<BR/><BR/>Joke at our house always was ,"Dad, I want to grow up and be a violinist".<BR/><BR/>"Son, you can't do BOTH"!<BR/><BR/>So I play a violin.......steveronihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17498524940140288735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-632178475504409612009-01-06T19:20:00.000-05:002009-01-06T19:20:00.000-05:00Tht sounds like a great thing to consider (for you...Tht sounds like a great thing to consider (for you).<BR/>I have been mostly retired since 2002 (age 49) when I got laid off from the oil industry. I say mostly because I don't work any more but do have an income.<BR/>My days remain full, every day, usually all day. I rarely make many plans and the practice of Step 3 keeps me busy.dAAvehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10378341182741173178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-75747272480826039672009-01-06T14:56:00.000-05:002009-01-06T14:56:00.000-05:00..something tells me you'll definitely never be bo.....something tells me you'll definitely never be bored or lost for activities if you retire young. <BR/><BR/>..Volunteering to do things that means something is the best type of 'work'. <BR/><BR/>..I'm glad you had a good meeting last night. I had a fabulous one too(mondays nights are my favorite ones). <BR/><BR/>I got and gave a lot of ((hugs)) last night and that felt GREAT. <BR/><BR/>The meetings are always 98% women but the two or three men that come feel right at home. They have no inhibitions to share their feelings and they love having this venue to do so. <BR/><BR/>I actually think they are much in touch with their manhood for sharing... (and not keeping their feelings pent in). I think they add something to the meetings too. <BR/><BR/>Enjoy this week......... I, hardly had work the last half of December and first couple of days in January;........ I got used to all that free time to think ... but I like that I'm back to my work routine. I love working; I guess because I only have been working for the last 7 years; before I was a SAHM for almost 2 decades.
