I was shocked to look at the calendar recently and realize I have been retired for a full year now. This is really and truly my life…not a vacation or a sabbatical…but my every-day life. So now that has settled in, looking back, do I have any regrets? Not. A. One! What I love about…
It’s been seven weeks since I told you my month of R&R had come to an end and nearly four weeks since we completed our long-awaited trip to Alaska. I’m feeling a little restless…unsettled. Like there is something I should be doing, but I’m not sure what it is. There’s that word “should” again. No…
