Making More Plans Today For Retirement May 7, 2013

Making More Plans Today For Retirement
May 7, 2013
 
 
     Because I am unable to acquire my dream home at this time in Celebration, Florida, I am once again absorbed in additional options for retirement.
 
     Thank you to everyone who saw my dream home photos.  Thank you to my Google+ friends who gave me +1s for my posts.
 
     Life isn't about having a perfect home; life is about living a peaceful life, isn't it?  So now I am back to searching for the peace I want for my future. 
 
     For now, my life consists of working my best every week.  That will continue into the next school year.  However, once November 1 comes around, my life will consist of being peaceful on a permanent basis.  I don't believe that not working will bring me peace.

     In the summer months, school is not in session.  Most teachers use these 60 days for vacations, relaxing, home improvement, or part-time jobs for a little extra income.  I usually spend my summers at home or at our theme parks, waiting for school to begin again.

     After November 1, I will live the life of the "endless summer."  I find that thought most disturbing and unsettling.  In truth, it is causing more and more anxiety as the days go by.
 
     From my list of retirement activities, I can say that taking that train trip is the most appealing.  So instead of looking for another perfect retirement home, I'm going to escape to somewhere by train this summer.  Train costs are far more inexpensive than cruising on the Queen Mary II.

     Maybe I'll discover the peace I seek from the window of a train going somewhere far away.
