I retired a few years early. I was so longing for freedom at that point. Life's adversities, I think, bring on a powerful yearning to simplify our days. There is such contentment in a simple life, AND - bonus - it's cheaper to live that way. I have found, it cost a lot more money to work than I realized. Ha!<br /><br />Fantastic writing, Sumana! And all the best to you!Wendy Bourkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475940407969993348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5867053657182353336.post-7314503635444283572015-09-05T15:46:49.345-07:002015-09-05T15:46:49.345-07:00What you want is SO very important. much courage t...What you want is SO very important. much courage to you and love. ♥Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10124956200834969600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5867053657182353336.post-57755636488084376512015-09-04T15:19:04.929-07:002015-09-04T15:19:04.929-07:00What ever the shackles are it is so wonderful to ...What ever the shackles are it is so wonderful to be set free so that you can float like a butterfly or soar like an eagle.<br />Go for it!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13414513238308254080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5867053657182353336.post-52661945683174556872015-09-04T05:53:24.114-07:002015-09-04T05:53:24.114-07:00Retirement can be scary for many people.

I worked so hard all my life that it was strange to contemplate not working, at first. But boredom is never an issue, there are not enough hours in the day - the greatest gift getting older gave me was TIME to spend as I wished, to wake every morning leisurely, and let my day unfold. I BEG you to take that step as a gift to yourself, my friend.
