I have been on permanent break for so long that I have even forgotten when I started. I have no earthshaking meetings to attend, appointments to keep, or targets to meet and I simply have to live one day at a time and spend my time as entertainingly as possible.
So has my friend Shackman who too retired from active business life many years ago. That is why it intrigues me that he has come up with this topic for this week’s Friday blog post.
With modern online shopping available to add to my library, life has been made easier further. I don’t have to step out of my home for anything at all.
My life revolves around my set routine about which I have written here. Since I am not involved with any activities that need me to get suited and booted, I spend all my time dressed very comfortably in our native dress and am totally relaxed. I get plenty of excitement from my social media activities, reading and crossword puzzles besides many phone calls. More than enough for me to lead a contented and peaceful life.
My daughter in love and son look after all domestic matters and that too is something that I do not have to concern myself with and worry about. All my comforts are provided for and even the odd shopping that I may want is done by one of them.
All in all, a comfortable and peaceful retired life which I think I have earned after a lot of stress filled times till eight years ago. I am extremely grateful for my present lifestyle.
Lastly, I am not dressed like that bloke in the image on top. This is my normal every day look. Very comfortable and functional for my current lifestyle.
