Some Things I Like About Retirement So Far

Six pluses about being retired:

1. No longer does John Grayson of Overnight America wake me up at 4:40 a.m.  I now wake up to my internal clock.  This morning i caught myself actually smiling when I remembered I didn't have to get up.
2. I can stay up past 9:00 p.m. during the week and not obsess about how sluggish I'll be the next day.
3. I am no longer required to look at myself in the mirror at 4:45 and wonder how to get rid of the potato sacks under my eyes.
4. I can go out to lunch in the middle of the week.
5. Instead of cramming work, lawn mowing, grocery shopping and errands to Target and Home Depot all in one day, just one of those items is now my "thing" for the day.
6. My daily morning walk will continue into the fall, winter and spring.
