Nothing new has miraculously changed about my life after retirement. In fact, I find myself sitting absolutely still, in front of my computer, for most of the day. What? That's not supposed to happen!
I wrote faithfully about all of the opportunities and activities that would await me upon retirement, if I chose. I retired on a Thursday, stayed home that Friday, and haven't really explored much since November 1.
Here are the three activities I did pursue:
1. Purchased the business name for my Professional Organizing business: Simplify Your Lifestyle. Signed up with www.findyourorganizer.com . Had lovely business cards printed.
2. Drove 1000 miles round-trip to Alabama to visit a dear friend at Thanksgiving, stayed one night, and came back the next day.
3. Went to visit my family (all of us, including 5 grandchildren) at Christmas. Experienced some family drama, and couldn't wait to get back home.
Spent all of January looking at my empty calendar for the month, and rarely got dressed. Something about retirement isn't going as planned.
Get the idea?

Saw an interesting website on "Ellen" about dating sites, and one caught my interest: www.farmersonly.com so I joined. I dropped out after one day, because it caused me to miss my horse and ranch in Fort Myers...Here's the clip from Ellen's segment.
Watched the Southwest Eagle Cam videos as two eggs were laid, chicks hatched, then one suddenly died last week for no apparent reason. Here's a tribute video to little E3. E4 is still thriving. Tribute to E3 Eaglet--Southwest Florida Eagle Cam, by urdognu
And during all of these three months, I wouldn't and couldn't think of anything positive or uplifting to write about my newfound "retirement life."
Yep. This is what I look like every day now, except I'm usually wearing pajamas.

To get this day, now half over, off to a better start, here is one of my newest favorite videos, by Pharrell Williams, called "Happy." So I plan on doing some dancing and singing today to chase away that black dog for a bit.
(For some reason, half of this blog is underlined and most of the links aren't working...I've been gone from here too long.)
