Today’s Blog Post
“Facebook can be depressing – this week for sure – BUT…”

Sheesh! All my friends (or acquaintances) on Facebook.. that hardly ever post anything are now on cruises or lulling around a pool in the warm sunshine – in the south. And they are posting their photos and stories and stuff from warm places.

Not cool! Here I am stuck in a cooler part of Canada. I have no reason to head south or west or east. I sure am not going to head NORTH!

I am stuck because I have no “Kids” at home anymore. My grandkids are still around and it is there school break – not mine.

I feel cheated in some ways. My wife and I should have 16 kids instead of 2. And if we could have had the last one when we were 58+ we could get a way on a school break this week as well.

Whoa… that would make the little guy 10 years old when I am 68… and 14 when I would be 72.

Maybe that wasn’t such a good thought. Yet I have some friends that are doing just that.. they are old and their kids are young!

God has a reason that we have kids young. They require the time and energy from their mom and dad… that I can’t give.

But another thought just popped up. Hey, it is cool. After this very fast school break week is over – in just 6 or 7 short days from now… my break will still be on. In fact it will last all this year – right up to December 31st… then I will pick up on another break starting on January 1st 2013.

Every day is break day now!

The thought of being able to enjoy what I do now is so good. Each day is filled with pleasant activities. Each week is gliding along toward a great spring. Then summer will be here to lull around in our local park with our lawn chairs, picnic basket, and my wood carving. We will stay from midmorning until late afternoon… the breeze will be cool under the shade of the large trees…

After this week is over, just about the time that most of my Facebook Friends head back to their office… I am going to post photos showing me doing nothing – absolutely nothing at all. I will show them what it is like to enjoy something so simple… Oh boy this will be fun.

Enough poking fun at them… sorry Friends of mine.

I really am enjoying the delights of retirement, the good books and time to read them, the business of Wood Carving and Lace Making, the interaction with very interesting people. I simply am loving life – just the way that it is.

It is doubtful that you are reading this when you are so far away… I hope you have a great time in the warm climate… and I hope you now have many wonderful memories.
