I go to market on Saturdays, and usually stop in M-F at the Senior Center. Wednesdays is 10% off at the grocery store. I tend to do my washing every two weeks on a Sunday or Monday. I watch Thai programs on youtube. I write something every day. When I had a garden I would be working in it until I couldn't see.

My life is "smaller" these days. I consider getting out of bed "productive".

I was just surprised by the pick because he retired from neurosurgery practice over a decade ago and has, in the time since, arguably built a higher national profile for himself in politics/public service. It would be like wanting to meet Mark Wahlberg not because he's a famous actor, but because of his prior musical accomplishments with The Funky Bunch. It's a totally valid choice, just an unexpected one.

Very nicely told! Thanks for sharing this great experience with us! It's inspiring to know there are folks like that out there.

Humm, why not? A highly respect neurosurgeon and he has a fascinating life history. No one could ever guess that he would have made it to become a doctor let along a neurosurgeon.

Thanks for reading and your valued comments.

I have to agree with you. Home is my favorite place as well. However, I do like to travel on the occasion and get a change of scenery, but it's always the best to walk back through the home doors!

That's unacceptable regarding the parking situation. To be told you're allowed to park someplace, and then not allowed to park there due to a requirement that clearly should have been mentioned in the letter. I usually use the valet parking option for my eye appointments, as it's free and reasonably convenient.

I used to go horse riding as a teenager. We lived in the city and I begged my parents to let me have a horse, and I swore I would look after it. Fortunately, they said no because that would never have worked out

I used to love horses though and I spent all my spare time at the stables, which were a half-hour bike ride away. But it's different when you chose to help muck out the stables when it suits you compared to having to do it because it's your horse, in the freezing cold or when it's raining.

I haven't been near a horse since then. I would probably be a bit scared of them now.

Great advice! As I reach the "mid-career" level of my life, I find myself thinking more and more about retirement and what planning I should do now to make sure that those later years are properly financed. But I'm honestly surprised at how many people my age don't have ANY retirement savings. Or much savings. Many of them are the result extenuating life circumstances (which no one can control), but there are quite a few who just "haven't gotten around to thinking about it" yet. That terrifies me because, as you said, starting earlier in life is the best way to ensure later success!

OVERWHELMED!

Today my post is about being overwhelmed! You have been there, I know. We all have. It seems the older I get, the more I feel that way. Why?

I have been trying to keep a daily schedule of writing, playing cards, chess, paint and do the normal household routines and still pay attention to my Little Guy (dog) and my big guy (husband). Wow, time for me? I have a running post regarding Psalms, but I have slippd up on that. I wanted to post everyday on it, but life gets in the way. I also want to post here on the Bloggers sites; trying to keep up with those.

Yesterday wasn't a bad day. Got several things done but by the end of the day I was bushed. Grant you, I am going to be 80 next month. In my mind, I am still about 35 and my body should pay attention to me.

Some days I feel like one of those machines that automatically sweeps your floors, Rumba. It starts out straight, turns, goes in circles and lands where, who knows? Do you ever feel that way?
