Retirement. Yes or No

The Cottage of Blog

Let's hear it for retirement. I'm seriously considering it.

I've heard of so many writers who are able to teach school, then go back home to a refreshing evening of writing. I used to be one them. Sad to say, I'm not that way any more. In fact, if I don't bow out, gracefully, I probably won't be able to be a serious writer. This is not a whine, but a statement of fact.
The glue some kid plastered my desk with today was that statement. No, not just one, but one of many.
It's time. I'm sad. In some ways, I feel like this is the greatest job in the world. In others, I feel like an utter, and complete, failure.

strangely enough, I'm not depressed over it. Anxiety ridden over the challenges of retirement--or rather, the funding of retirement.

If any of you are retired and have any thoughts on the matter, please feel free to communicate. I need all the help an advice I can get.

That's all for this evening from "The Cottage of Blog."

Pat and her ghost writers.

Pat,

It all depends on what your plan is. What do you want to do during your retirement? It's a great thing to think about, but if you don't have a plan, you'll be sitting around bored to tears.
