Wow. Daily variations can be a bitch. Plus, today was supposed to be a fast day, but I had scheduled lunch with a friend, so I will fast tomorrow. No food until 7pm. -Ish.

Daily Comment

I have been asking myself what it is I want for myself with retirement. Initially, I thought of a lot of things I wanted to eliminate: job, car, money worries, winter. But I don't really like thinking in negatives, I don't like to think of what I don't want (since that puts the energy in the wrong place).


What I want when I retire: I want to travel. I want to be more active physically and spiritually. I want to eat healthier food. I want to find out what my 'natural' schedule is (the one that happens when I don't have anyone else's schedule to meet or comply with). I want to expand my choices in everything. I want to see, do and learn new things. I want a little adventure. 

In reference to the negatives above, let me restate:  I want to be able to pay for all my living needs and most of my wants with cash on hand, mobility, and warm weather.
