What a great post as we meandered with you through your thoughts. I am like you and can become involved in so many activities that I lose sight of what I really want to accomplish in life.

He says the same thing, Whatever makes me happy. I love my guy. :-) I've gotten better about defining what I will and will not do when I volunteer. That helps me. I also sit on my hands more often when someone is courting for volunteers. <br />I've also realized that I actually do more different stuff each day, and that there aren't enough hours to do everything I want to do. But, then, I've got my whole life. :-)Su-sieee!

I am happy as a lark since I retired, I must say I do not plan out as much as you, unless we are planning a big trip. We go day by day, no hurries or worries. I was away for a few days and missed doing a Mosaic post. I enjoyed your post, the pretty deer and your sweet dog.

I get exhausted just contemplating how much mental energy you are putting into creating a blueprint, Angie. Wake up and enjoy the day, I say. As for going over past blog posts, I never do, unless I want to refer to something I wrote about one of my trips, or to check some detail that struck me at the time. I certainly never contemplate my writing prowess, God (whoever she is) forbid! David M.

I am about a month and a half away from my retirement and I have been so busy with my brother and his issues that I haven't done anything to get ready. I thought about delaying it but I am going ahead. I always have this crazy sense that everything will turn out okay. My wife is ten years younger than me and loves her late career change into an exercise instructor. She is very supportive of me but also makes it plain she is not retiring (and I am fully supportive of that) so it will be an adjustment on just how this thing is going to go.

I’m just content to spread the word about birds and how vital they are to our wellbeing as humans without worrying that every post and every photo is brilliant. I’m far from that point.<br />Too much introspection is not good. Just enjoy each day as it comes, even if at my time of life they come too quickly.<br /><br />As for that recipe. <br />1. 3 large onions 500/600 grams finely sliced into 30mm pieces.<br />2. 1 teaspoon of fine sea salt<br />3. 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds<br />4. Half teaspoon of ground turmeric<br />5. 1 teaspoon of ground coriander<br />6. Half teaspoon of ground black pepper<br />7. 3 cm piece of fresh ginger peeled and finely minced<br />8. 3 or 4finely sliced green chillies at 30mm<br />9. Half a teaspoon of chilli powder <br />10. One and a half tablespoons of rapeseed oil<br />11. 3 tablespoons of fresh chopped coriander<br />12. 100 grams of gram (chick pea) flour<br /><br /><br />Place the sliced onions into a large bowl and sprinkle with the salt. Leave for up to 3 hours.<br />When ready to form the bhajis, squeeze the onions with your bare hands to release the water into the bowl.<br />Add the remaining ingredients up to and including the coriander and give everything a good mix. <br />Sift the flour over the mixture and mix well. There shoud be enough water released from the onions to form a thickish batter that sticks the onions together. If the mixture is too dry add water. If too wet, add flour. <br />Form the mixture into bhajis and then either bake on a greaseproof sheet or oiled tray for 3040 minutes at 200 degrees. Alternatively deep fry until golden brown and cooked through. <br /><br />Now get cracking Angie. <br />Phil Sladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846400106748443969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232521537292473964.post-23433336871414180742020-03-11T02:39:44.660-06:002020-03-11T02:39:44.660-06:00Lovely your photos, I love the Deer, it is fabulou...Lovely your photos, I love the Deer, it is fabulous.Bob Bushellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07819577478571292055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232521537292473964.post-70841155856567376472020-03-10T23:32:12.287-06:002020-03-10T23:32:12.287-06:00Your retirement evaluation made me think back on t...Your retirement evaluation made me think back on the first few years after we had both had decided to 'retread' my preferred word over 'retire'. I found the need to continue my many volunteer commitments, meetings, mentoring, social outings, lunches. One day I found my other half looking at the wall calendar (yes we still rely on them) and said, "I thought we were going to travel more. . .is there any time this month you could leave for a few days?' Innocent question and a slap alongside the head. I began rethinking retirement.

Why? Wasn't that one of the problems with working? When I see old staff and friends and they ask what have you been up to. I say, Nothing. I wanted my retirement to be just that. I retired. I wake late in the morning, sip coffee and read and play on my Kindle till Noonish. Sometimes I will plan a shopping trip or a lunch but mostly I stay home. Home is where I am the happiest and where I want to be and I do not feel guilty for staying home at all. I did the years of volunteering and kid events. Now is my time with my hubby. Your husbands right. Lose some of the obligations and have those movie nights. My best events are sitting on the couch watching a movie with my guy with Raisinetts and popcorn. We just do not know how much time we have left and we have to do what we want, not what others think we should be doing because we have all this free time. You earned this time to do what you want. Go for it! Love ya, your friend to the south.

It is a different time in our lives and we were enjoying it but fell into a rut as well. Recently we had the discussion of "why are we wasting time" and decided to reboot. Do the things we enjoy, with and without each other and limit the out/community activities.
