I have been a frog for 7 months now, and love every minute of it. Like many others I have actually had to cut down on some activities because I was so busy that it was starting to seem like work instead of play. Because I am outside playing all day (clubs, golfing, swimming, etc.) that when we get a stretch of bad weather for a few days I get a little cabin fever. I also volunteer at the hospital one day a week. The interactions are very rewarding and the fact that I have to get out of bed and be somewhere specific helps to remind me how special the rest of the week is when I'm my own boss. After 57 years of school and/or work, I did have to relearn some of the joys of life.....naps, sleeping late, taking time for the sunsets, etc. Now, I wonder how I ever had time to have a job!
