I think back to New Year’s Eve 2011, New Year’s Day 2012 and ALL the resolutions that we annually make….to eat better, to exercise more, to diet, to read more, to spend more time with family, to become financially free, TO RETIRE! Well all of those resolutions are and were doable. The question is> how much time and effort have we/did we put into them and are they still on the active list. Well, I can safely say that I try each and everyday to cook healthy (although on the rare[weekly] occasion I will grab a burger or some KFC or yes…PIZZA!) Had a bit of a set back earlier in the year when my AF (Atrial Fibrillation) went silly and kept me out of the gym for a month but I am back there for 30-40 minutes everyday. I am reading more but most times it is on an audio while I am driving or exercising. Ya gotta make the most of the 24 hours you are blessed with on a daily basis. I communicate with my kids (well they are in their 30’s now) but still my kids several times a week. Thank goodness for Apple, iPhones, iPads and FaceTime not to mention Skype. I always make a point of telling them before hanging up that “I love them and am proud of them”. Yeah, they drove me crazy when they were kids but that is what they are supposed to do. Did I mention that they are still my kids?. I am retired. Retirement is a mindset. See you get to do what you want to do and what you enjoy doing. That is exactly what I get to do. I am not at the mercy of a “JOB…just over broke” scenario. While I am not monetarily where I want to be at, I am at least at peace with my day. I LOVE IT!

So tell me….WHERE ARE YOU and what are you doing about it? Love to hear from you….Peace.
