How do you spend your day?

 If you have planned well and have a passion, then every day (almost) can be set aside for doing what makes you happy.

One of my friends, gets up early, makes a coffee and then he settles down and spends two hours reading his newspaper or a new book. Then he settles in doing work around his house with his wife. He works on his antique car and keeps it in immaculate shape. Another friend, who lives in a Condo, spends his day doing maintenance in the garden of the Condo and talking to his neighbours. What retired life boils down to is;

·        Money

·        Well-being

·        Hobbies

When I and my wife first retired our passion was travelling and we did a fair bit. Her hobby was working in the theatre and as we aged, health became an issue; now we don’t travel, and my wife does not work in the theatre. Currently, we spend our time working on our garden in the backyard and creating magical scenes with our elves and other figurines we have collected over the years. In our garden, we have flowers blooming and a quiet space to enjoy morning coffee. I volunteer, but my wife works at home, and we live simply.
