LISTAMONDAY...

I found another list book this weekend. 
Some of these lists are so good that I'm going to share one every Monday on my blog. 
Should be fun....

Today's list goes along with where I'm at right now....

RETIREMENT....

1. Speak to people who are already retired
2. Reevaluate priorities. 
3. Determine what legacy you want to leave. 
4. Begin downsizing if necessary. 
5. Develop new hobbies. 
6. Reassess finances and plan your future. 
7. Do more things with your spouse. 
8. Look for volunteer activities.
9. Plan future vacations. 
10. Think of classes you might want to take.
11.  Set up exercise program. 
12. Increase time with old friends, make new 
friends with your same interests. 

Retirement has forced us to look at these things.
 For me,  
1. I like to watch others who are retired. 
2. For me reevaluating my priorities has to go along with both my age andmy time. I"m not getting any younger and I have more time. 
3. This has really been on my mind. I feel like I need to be sure not to waste this time.  
4. Moving made me  downsize. I've been talking about it for years, I'm finally doing it, and it feels good. I need to be sure that I don't find myself in same place down the road. That means I need to keep cleaning things out. 
5. I plan to develop my old hobbies to a greater degree because I have time now. 
6. Unless you are rich, one is forced to reassess. We aren't rich. 
7. We are doing just that, it helps when you get along:)
8. Haven't thought about this. I'm not sure there is anywhere to volunteer here. 
9. We have talked about where we would like to take our next trip.  
10. I want to take a photography class. 
11. We are trying.. A walk tomorrow is planned. 
12. We have no choice but to make new friends.
