The View

That is the view out our front window from our site at Myakka River Motorcoach Resort.

Nothing like a beautiful sunset to end the perfect day.

We spent the morning stocking up on supplies and then we enjoyed a wonderful afternoon with family.

I had to chuckle though. At one point we were asked what do we do with our time. So I asked the same question. Well, they said, we work, then get home, do household chores, and other everyday tasks.

We do much the same except that we don’t work so we have an extra eight to ten hours to do the other things that we enjoy doing. For me, that includes photography, music, cycling, investments, technology and, believe it or not, working on the coach. That easily takes up eight to ten hours in a day.

Most days, I wonder where the time has gone. Especially on those 10-hour driving days!

It is wonderful being retired.

As a friend told me, every night is a Friday night and every day is a Saturday.

We worked long and hard to get here.

New beginnings are just that. They are new and at this point in our lives we get to shape them without a job to set the boundaries of what we can — or cannot — do with this wonderful gift of time.
