[quote=Anonymous]We moved to a new area for retirement so it was nice to leave the craziness of the DMV for a slower pace of life. The best part of retirement for us is that there is nothing we have to do - what a gift.

We wake up earlier and at some point in the morning enjoy coffee, exercise (some days it is just a long walk), reading the paper/internet, and doing the crossword. We spend most of the rest of the day doing our own thing: he catches up on sports, news, whatever and I will go out to shop or meet a friend. We regroup and cook dinner, watch a show or two, and that's it!

Weekly, I will take a yoga and/or meditation class, have a game night with neighbors, and we have taken some trips to explore our new area.

Here's what we know in our sixties: our health could take a turn at any time so we need to spend these years enjoying every minute, eating well, and being grateful for this time in life that we have earned. No grandchildren yet and adult children are not nearby.[/quote]
