This Retirement Thing Is Great!
Welcome Back!

July 2014 Sanibel Island, Florida
Hadn't written on this blog since June 7, 2014, then a wonderful thing happened: I adopted another greyhound, and my whole outlook changed drastically. Miss Wendy, adopted on June 21, 2014, from Goldcoast Greyhound Rescue in Orlando, Florida, changed my retirement completely.
So as soon as Miss Wendy entered my home, my attitude and actions changed for the better...I got off my chair and started living and making plans. My friend from Alabama, Charlotte, came for a visit, and we drove to Sanibel Island, walked the gorgeous beach, 4 hours from Orlando, had lunch with old friends there at the Mucky Duck Pub , and immediately I decided to move back to Fort Myers. Plans were made, apartment searches were done (internet searches), and by September, I was packing to leave Orlando!
Here it is, 7 months later, and I live in my beautiful second floor apartment, overlooking a lake, and within 5 miles of the Sanibel Island bridge! The home I left in Orlando has been rented, and I am finally living the retirement life I wrote about.
All of the credit goes to bringing another dog into my life. That is what it took to get me out of what others have called the retirement rut. Thank goodness for Miss Wendy!
