I worked as a bookseller for a couple of years in a very large bookshop and all I read in that time was invoices, sellers' blurbs and packing sheets. At least I enjoyed opening the boxes but reading was but a distant memory.Sabinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09015827501648296977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4729559664676971737.post-62681394102437828122016-05-24T14:14:15.597-04:002016-05-24T14:14:15.597-04:00I can see why it's so hard to leave that stres...I can see why it's so hard to leave that stressful world behind, it can be all encompassing.<br />I'm always so tickled to hear your adjustment and your constant new awareness of the world around you and the little treasures that get hidden with the distractions of a "career". You're bit by bit,leaving that behind and setting up a new world here in "retirement" and you seem to enjoy it more and more each day. It's a nice process to watch and it makes me think about how I live my "retirement" too.<br />I put it in quotation marks because I'm never really sure what it is :) livhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00091094639074377780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4729559664676971737.post-12293023385870476302016-05-24T14:01:00.096-04:002016-05-24T14:01:00.096-04:00Sounds great.

I am now loving semi-retirement because I can still work but I have much more time to do those soul feeding activities like reading and gardening. I am very grateful to have the best of both worlds.8thdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17139355263412766126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4729559664676971737.post-81366057742652352272016-05-24T12:14:59.930-04:002016-05-24T12:14:59.930-04:00Amen.
