Since retirement is there anything you know you over do?
TV? Gambling? Ice cream? Candy? Eating? Drinking?
I tend to like my lazy nightcaps before bed. I sleep so much better after a couple glasses of wine during my late night movie.
 

No one believes my confession!

As a type A everyone doubted I could retire successfully, but I have. Turns out I like living at a slower pace, I enjoy not worrying about accomplishing a hundred things a day.

So when I confess that it turns out I'm a lazy bum no one believes me.
 

I eat too many bad things, I drink too much, I am swimming in a pool of depression, anxiety and being alone. I have for the most part thrown in the towel, I just try to get through every long, long day. The one thing I do still possess is the ability to tell the truth. It may be ugly but I do pride myself by telling the truth. Yes, I am damaged beyond repair, yes, I have been to the doctor, yes, I try to do what they say.
Still here I am admitting to all of you the horror of my life. Not a whole lot of fun but you all need to know the truth. Yes, I will be happy when this whole thing is done.

You're an Aries.. our lot in life is to be the most honest of the Zodiac.. gets us into a lot of trouble, but hey what can we do it's in our DNA
 
I entered and left university a couple times, and I've wondered if I'd have been better off finishing a degree. I really enjoyed studying and I had a definite goal. Well, in reality it might not have been all that definite, but I did have a general goal in mind....earning a good living.

There's a few relationships I wish I would have avoided altogether, but there's one I know I'd do better if I could do it over again, and it would've been worth the effort. But I confess, except for my kids always being my first priority, I went through a pretty selfish phase for about 20 years.

I eat wayyy too much sweet things since retiring, and put too much weight on. I don't smoke, or drink alcohol.. and I never had a sweet tooth until I retired, and now it's very hard with nothing else to occupy me to stop eating cake.. :ROFLMAO:

Oh, now I'm convinced you and I are sisters by another mister. I could have written your exact words!

So sorry, Blessed; I wish and hope things'd be better for you; you deserve it. Hugs.
 
I donā€™t allow enough time for myself. Anytime someone calls for help or wants something, Iā€™m there. Tomorrow I am going to a ladyā€™s house to build a ramp for her mobility scooter. She goes to the same church, so Iā€™m happy to build it. I have to stop at Lowes to pickup the lumber and screws and then get to her place and build the ramp. I figure it will take maybe only 3 hours or less. She had that request on the church bulletin board for 2 weeks and no one offered. She lives only a few blocks from the church and I live about 2 miles away, so I will take care of it. The weather has been beautiful here.

She will forever be thankful that you made time to help her. God will smile upon you all the days of your life. I am lucky to have neighbors that have taken care of things in times of crisis when my husband was sick and after I had a hip replacement. I will never be able to repay them but I do bake bread and cookies and take a loaf or some cookies to them.

You strike me as a kind person. I'm sorry you don't feel better about yourself.

As you build for others you're building for yourself rewards not seen yet, but to come.
