I have no desire or plans to go back to work and therefore consider myself retired. My grandmother lives the life you are setting out to do, although she's slowed down now at 94. Keep asking, "What's next?" and maybe I'll see you on a zip-line some day.Jody Vitekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06092200862551317755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787196793070180268.post-70852321603760909682014-10-24T13:15:23.479-07:002014-10-24T13:15:23.479-07:00LOL.

That was a challenge--at which we succeeded--but for me (and I think for Duane, too) that was the hard part. Days are definitely full, but it's so much fun!

Not until someone behind me made a remark did I look up. I was half-done so couldn't stop, but I must have apologized profusely enough because we were all friends by the time I was done. I felt so stupid!<br />Liz Flahertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06794565644883272260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787196793070180268.post-40825989189480563342014-10-24T09:20:11.246-07:002014-10-24T09:20:11.246-07:00You're officially my idol.

I have every intention of picking up the pace, but no para-sailing for me (too much of a chicken).Alison Hendersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12725250883303287946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787196793070180268.post-43551436328413912622014-10-24T08:53:13.262-07:002014-10-24T08:53:13.262-07:00Another Golden Oldie here - I've also publishe...Another Golden Oldie here - I've also published since retiring and have no plans to quit soon, either. I have a thing about heights, actually about falling from heights, too, and loved parasailing. And hot ballooning. And zip lining. Sometimes you just have to let your fears know they aren't in control. :>0Ashantayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16122891967983778466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787196793070180268.post-88666061987508236262014-10-24T08:31:31.267-07:002014-10-24T08:31:31.267-07:00Huh.

I found it amusing that I published four books in the same year that I applied for Medicare. I'm confident I'll know when to quit. Ha ha.

The grocery line man made me grit my teeth just reading about it. The other day there was a woman like that ahead of me and about 4 other people. The clerk said, "I don't care. I'm not in a rush." I said in a tone that shouted don't mess with me, "Some of us are." The others in the line clapped! I applaud your awesome view on life!Jannine Gallanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17692098634695675967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787196793070180268.post-32282527549046057102014-10-24T05:50:16.112-07:002014-10-24T05:50:16.112-07:00It's a pleasure, Liz.
