I can’t imagine waking up in the morning and wondering what I could do that day. I wake up thinking there’s no way I’m going to get it all done. Louis Dean says he’s going to have to live to be 115 to get all he wants to do done. I love how you live your life and how you share it with us. I’ve come to know your family through your blog and I admire them all.

I knit, crochet, bake, garden, decorate, meet friends for coffee, go camping, hang with my hiusband, happy hours with friends, try to read, love being home....keep very busy. It's fabulous!

In case something would happen that you could no longer get around you need a slower hobby. I loved junking, looking for bargains to rework or repurpose. But honestly there's days I wish I was still working...the routine of it all. I thought retirement would be wearing nice things and going to lady luncheons....no it's still working without getting paid. LOL. There's good days and bad days in everything. I just read BJ's comment and your answer....that would be a hard change to work thru, if one ever could.

I have so many interests, like you do, and it amazes me that people could wonder what they'll do when they stop working. I always think there's not enough time (or funds) to do what I'm interested in doing!<br /><br />I like what Living from Glory to Glory said in her comment: "I think all that you enjoy doing does create a beautiful life."Deanna Rabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07946588895797307347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6712599346434757984.post-36790596245046701402019-08-13T21:42:01.491-05:002019-08-13T21:42:01.491-05:00Oh I so enjoyed this post!

I am able to stay home and read and journal and of course to blog.

Oh and I don’t decorate as much as you do. And I don’t take too many photos anymore. Goodness, I was just flattering myself to say that my hobbies are similar to yours. 😏 Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.com
