hold regular paid employment again, it doesn't really feel as if I'm retired, mainly because I not only spent many years as a stay at home mom, but the last three and a half years only worked part time. By choice, I hasten to add. Even so, it is wonderful not to have to go in to work at all. Since I never had a job I loved, I don't quite get people who honestly don't want to retire. I never have trouble keeping myself busy. Although never too busy.

And yes, I'm trying to write, which is working on my own terms. I am expecting 2015 to be a very good year for me.
