A lady customer from Alberta suggested to me last night
that I don't rush into retiring from work,
because, although it seems exciting at first,
later on it is no longer fun at all.
I hope she is wrong.
I have the TransCanadaTrail to cycle,
my cabin to enjoy, and
some children's books to finish up.
I want to take a computer course,
and I want to take a course on real estate.
Mondays and Tuesdays I babysit and that's fun
because we always go woods-walking
and find really interesting stuff to study and photograph.
It's fun just watching Mr. T develop, learn, and play.
We have the nature photography club
which goes off on fun and interesting trips.
We live near Sandbanks beaches, and, now that I'm 160 lbs.,
I can float for hours should I want to,
or I can walk an hour along the beach
and join the nudies at the far north end.
I can get a new vehicle, and travel, and maybe even find a traveling companion...or be one professionally. There are few corners of the US and Canada that I haven't driven through.
Really, how can one not have fun in retirement.
Actually, I really will miss work, though.
It's a nice job, talking to people from across Canada, daily.
