I waited until I was retired to start writing again. I thought I would bore everyone with my second thoughts about retiring, and in this economic climate I do have some fear. But in the almost 2 months I have had of retirement I am loving it.
My beautiful wife and I have spent almost everyday together. I was afraid we would get on each other's nerves or that I would not have the freedom to renew guy friendships that I had let lapse. But that has not happened. I tend to be a loner so I have few, if any, real close mail friends. I enjoy being with Cindy and we share a lot of common interests.
My golf and tennis games have improved. I still have to start working at learning to play bridge. Cindy is not interested in Bridge or tennis, but I do not think that will be a problem Without actually discussing our time together and apart we have seem to reached a working relationship allowing each of us to pursue our interests.
I have started cooking again and enjoy searching the Internet to come up with interesting meals (look out Gordon Ramsey here I come).
Our only worry right now is selling our house so we can buy our motor home and start our travels. We have spent over 2 years researching RVs. Motor home vs. fifth wheeler. We decided motor home. Then diesel vs. gas. We decided diesel. We even have make and model picked out. This economy necessitates us to wait until we sell the house.
All my fears about retirement have been laid to rest. Now I am having a blast!
