I am going to retire in January and am already wondering how I will fill my days. I don't want to do things just to fill time. I will be selective and take my time. Some days I am bored at work so if some days in retirement are boring that is OK. A lot of retirement blogs almost make me think that if I don't have something scheduled each day I will be one of the "poor " retirees who is not leading a rewarding, fulfilling life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-71531141079455630062017-12-19T04:25:14.989-05:002017-12-19T04:25:14.989-05:00Hair Transplant is also best to get advanced techn...Hair Transplant is also best to get advanced techniques of hair regrowth like Follicular unit extraction and Follicular unit transplantation.<br /><a href="http://www.drkumarcosmeticindia.com" rel="nofollow">Hair Transplantation Centre in Lucknow<br />Best Hair Transplantation Centre in Lucknow<br />Best Affordable Hair Transplant Centre in Lucknow</a><br /><br /><br />kumar cosmetichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10738658339937231045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-26039557277128644692017-12-18T15:20:02.155-05:002017-12-18T15:20:02.155-05:00I live with a retired guy and he putters around th...I live with a retired guy and he putters around the house all day. I'll never be able to retire because I have always freelanced. Even if you're retired you still have to find a purpose and do something that's fulfilling. It could even be volunteering if money isn't a problem. Some people love being docents because it's always interesting.

I have been retired for about 4 years now and have been able to keep busy. However, I was pondering the thought about filling in time just for the sake of doing something and actually doing something that brings satisfaction. I think that is so important as retirement can last for a long time (if we are lucky to have good health) so it is a matter of finding some balance that will make you feel fulfilled yet also have time to relax.<br />Sue<br />www.sizzlingtowardssixty.com.auSue from Sizzling Towards 60 & Beyondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15418770845484399102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-90776125317132821222017-12-17T20:16:46.348-05:002017-12-17T20:16:46.348-05:00You don't have time to be bored.

So outside of going out to eat with friends occasionally, we're pretty much home bodies. I do take classes at a nearby college and have lots of creative hobbies that I find enjoyable. Boring life - maybe, but pretty content with it. Maybe you need to find something you love doing or always wanted to do... and go for it.

I mean, If I say that last week I stayed home, read two books, did some sewing wrote a bit, walked every day, and so on and so forth the sum of the parts can sound really boring, But individual I loved the book for example. I think as retirees sometimes we feel that we MUST be doing things, hhave a direction or whatever. Sometimes were just relaxing and doing all those "lesser things", which often end up being a really full life when put together.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15195838412173806659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-41053065248619996222017-12-15T22:38:35.500-05:002017-12-15T22:38:35.500-05:00Kathy, I did read your blog post ... a good one.

I am already at the bored stage, and mostly it's my own fault for letting a lot of hobbies go by the wayside as I grieve and try to come back to myself Picking out wallpaper is not fun, but remodeling is...in short spurts of time.

According to this post, you should be bursting with ideas!!! :-) Other than that I think we all have gotten so addicted to needing to be productive and busy that we resist the opportunity to just slow down a bit and enjoy the moments as they come. Although, I am not really a wallpaper kind of person either! Enjoy your show this weekend and let your creativity run wild! ~KathyKathy @ SMART Living 365.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12392736262783641661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-44086866751775719972017-12-15T18:00:19.189-05:002017-12-15T18:00:19.189-05:00I'm with you about picking out wallpaper.
