The Unexpected Joys Of Disabled Retirement


5/6/2008 at 03:31 AM


 

I'm not really new to the retirement world, per say. I've been at home with medical challenges of one kind or another for more years than I care to mention. I am, however, enjoying the comparatively new experience of being at home and having my retired husband home as much as I am. Its an invigorating experience to be able to spend virtually all of my time with my best friend. As long as we've been married, we've talked longingly of the day when we would retire and have the time and the capability of being together more. Now, that day is here and it is more than I could have ever hoped for!

Okay, so it isn't exactly as I anticipated. There are some things we never expected to happen. But is it necessarily 'BAD' to have breakfast at noon? Is it all that wrong to enjoy staying up half the night instead of half the day? My husband and I love to write and, at least for us, some of the best story ideas strike us after the sun goes down. It just wouldn't do for us to wait until the first hint of sunlightbefore we write those good ideas down.

Disability, like retirement, is what you make it ~ ~ ~ and I think the fun has just begun.  Cool
