I am happily retired and excited to be planning my days around what interests me. Traveling is a special favorite and I try to do several shorter trips every year and go further afield when I am in the mood to do so. I am most definitely a positive outlook type of person and forward focused, as other than pleasant memories, there is no reason to keep looking backward. As our time on this planet is finite, I try to make every day count, even if it is only to spend the day curled up with a good book. It is the loveliest feeling in the world to have choices!
