I am part of  the FACEBOOK phenomenon, which is something I really didn’t think I would enjoy, but now that I have connected to so many Facebook Friends, it is so much fun.  You get to converse with others about their feelings, what they are doing or going to do.  Mostly nothing, but it’s still fun!

Well, one of the Facebook Friends, wrote they they would never retire, because they loved their job, and that being retired was “boring”, “mundane” and “overrated”!  Of course, I had to respond right away!  How could someone actually say that about being retired!

As I written before, somehow people feel that you will get bored if you wasn’t constantly doing something to make you feel good about yourself.  It’s been one whole year since I retired, and I still am not having those crazy feelings!  

I am doing something now.  I am volunteering my time for a city council candidate, in my city, and when they are voted in (positive outlook), I mentioned to them, that I wouldn't mind working, 2 or 3 days a week!  But, the freedom, in being retired, comes from the fact that if I ever get tired of doing that, I don't have too! 

Retirement, so far, is not boring or mundane, and definitely isn’t overrated!  Just ask my husband if he wants to continue to work (he’s a city bus driver).  He is counting down the days to retirement.  He has 7 1/2 years to go.  

I think it’s wonderful that a person loves their job that they feel they would never want to retire, and if I had a job like that, I might would have considered it……NOT! 

I did the working part, now I like to enjoy the retirement part!
