I have been retired for about 10 years now and have never experienced a day when I did not know what to do. I try to balance my life by doing some things for me and some things for others. I sing in a Sweet Adeline's chorus, have recently joined two barbershop quartets, and quilt at every opportunity. I also volunteer at our local hospital and schools, serve as a back up babysitter for my grandchildren and work as a costumer for local theater productions. For the past year and a half I have been in charge of my mother's medical and legal affairs and try to spend time with her several days a week. My husband and I like to travel and are fortunate to be able to do so. I wish you the same joy in your retirement.
