My Retirement - So, you're over 60

Warm and Wonderful here and I am doing OK

Perks

- Knowing your life is better than Charlie Sheen's.
- You never have to worry about getting acne anymore.
- Your grandchildren like being around you more than they do their parents.
   The junkfood you gave them and the money you slipped into their hands has
   paid off.
- There is time to smell the roses and appreciate the smaller (and better)
   things in life.
- You no longer have to be a slave to fashion; it is more about comfort.  Oh,
   the joys of elastic!.
- Things you once deemed important, are not.
- You are no longer a fussy eater and most things taste good
   (maybe not brussel sprouts).
-  Generic Drugs
- There is more time to garden.
- You know what love really is and recognize it is not always easy and that is OK. 
- Some things are just so much funnier.
- Acceptance, and peace with it.

  3. You know, I had that one in my draft, but the list was getting really long so I edited it out. It had to do with wants and needs. It is liberating to purge and not have so many wants anymore. I realize that everytime I look in my basement and see all the crapola I have accumulated. What was I thinking?
