1st Day of the Rest of My Life

Retirement = Freedom




Life begins at retirement.  ~Author Unknown

I woke up this morning retired.  What a novel concept.  I like this feeling.  Yesterday was the last day of my J-O-B at Dynamic Independence.  Now I really do have Independence.

According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary:

re·tire·ment

noun \ri-ˈtī(-ə)r-mənt\

Definition of RETIREMENT

1

a : an act of retiring : the state of being retired

b : withdrawal from one's position or occupation or from active working life

c : the age at which one normally retires <reaches retirement in May>

2

: a place of seclusion or privacy
Well, I like the part about place of seclusion or privacy. But don’t really see that happening. Retirement just means moving into the next phase of my life.

Retirement for Me

For me retirement means ceasing to get up and go to an 8 – 5 J-O-B.  It doesn’t mean that I will cease from earning money or from “working”.  It just means that from today forward – I am my own boss.

I can get up when I want and work when I want.  I can visit my kids and grandkids and do my work from there.  It means totally being on my own schedule.  It means freedom from having a please a boss because I am my own boss.

Operation Free Dennis

When I got up this morning, after I 1st thought about how awesome it is to be FREE and retired, my next thought was I need to FREE Dennis.  Consequently, Operation Free Dennis has been born.  Dennis works so hard and such long hours.  He deserves to be FREE just as much or probably more than I do.

Operation Free Dennis sounds like one of those nature things – Free the whales or something.  Just saying it will make me smile.  But that doesn’t mean it is any less serious.  From today forward until he is Retired.  I will be working on Operation Free Dennis.

Retirement as a Team

Retirement has been a discovery of beauty for me.  I never had the time before to notice the beauty of my grandkids, my wife, the tree outside my very own front door.  And, the beauty of time itself.  ~Hartman Jule

Heck, I want him to be with me when I go see the kids and grandkids and travel.  He is just as much a part of their lives as I am.  We are a team.  We want and need to be doing these things together.  Retirement need to be for both of us.

I am just thankful that we already have the vehicle to make this happen.  We joined Empower Network back the end of November.  We have had a few setbacks but from this day forward I am going to take massive action.

DS Domination

Making DSD totally successful and Operation Free Dennis is my passion.  DS Domination is a fantastic company.  I am learning and growing and becoming a better person every day because of them.

Retirement Time

5 Days until Retirement

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.
