Retirement Time

5 Days until Retirement

Life begins at retirement. ~Author Unknown
Retirement is such an awesome word. The word retirement means: Noun
  1. The action or fact of leaving one's job and ceasing to work.
  2. The period of one's life after leaving one's job and ceasing to work.
Sounds wonderful doesn’t it. Just sitting around eating bon-bons and sleeping in until Noon. Does sound pretty good at least for the 1st week.
But that isn’t how I picture my retirement being. Retiring from my 8 – 5 gives me time to start my own home based business.

Retirement means Blogging More

I have no intention of sitting around relaxing and watching TV. I have way too much to do for that. My plan is to be up blogging and marketing my business. And the funny thing is – I am more excited about doing that than just about anything else lately.
OK, I am also excited about my new grandbaby coming in August.  But the cool part is that not having a regular job gives me the chance to be there when Jay and Meredith have their little one.
It gives me the chance to see all my grandkids when I can’t stand not seeing them one second longer. It also gives me the chance to visit my birth mom one more time before it’s too late.

Blogging as I Travel During My Retirement

All I have to do is pack the laptop or Ipad and blog away while I am traveling. It gives Dennis and I the opportunity to go to Chicago in a few weeks for the Empower Network Convention. I don’t have to worry about having enough hours of vacation time or asking my boss permission.
In May we have 3 graduations, in one week, in 3 different states. Saturday step daughter, Lisa graduates from college in Arkansas, Monday step son Peter graduates from Vet school in Louisiana and the next Saturday granddaughter Sydney graduates from high school in New Mexico. We can be at them ALL!!!

Route 66 to the End!!

When that is finished – we are heading to California on Route 66. We have done 2 legs of Route 66 on long 4 day weekends in the past. Last May we traveled Chicago to Vinita, OK, and in September we went from Vinita to Tucumcari, New Mexico. We will finish from New Mexico to California.
You can bet, you will see lots of pictures on this blog from our travels. Traveling, writing (blogging) and taking pictures are the things I love to do. This so-called retirement will give me the opportunity to fulfill my dream.
