Thus far into my retirement I have allowed myself to go with the rhythm of day and night and with the natural flow of activities set by our house and its residents. I now have a routine--one that is relaxing, enjoyable, stress-free, comfortably predictable, and with much space to be creative in and to indulge in my crazy hobbies in.

This is the life I dreamed of and saved up for since the age of 18.
