RETIRED LIFE
I would say One is Lucky to have a full life & come to the stage of retirement & have enough 'beans ' to enjoy ones retired life I am one of the lucky ones
I have had a professional life as a OBGYN -a real active life I am very grateful to the power above for this
I had a very satisfying profession & would never exchange it for anything else even if I had 'SEVEN LIVES' to make another choice. I can say i have given my best to this profession.A very satisfying 50 yrs of active life .along with being a wife mother & housewife & now grand mother with all the responsibilities involved . sometimes I feel like giving a 'pat' on my own back.but then stop short as I feel some where I could have done a better job in my domestic front! though my kids -now all grown up & parents to their own kids think that if they could be half as good as I have been then they will feel very satisfied -this specially from my younger daughter who have been very vociferous in my short comings as life went by. anyway this i feel is a good reward with all the shortcoming I have felt
Now that I am retired I have all the time to do what I want -just laze around if i feel like it for as long as i wish .But mostly I like to keep myself busy with house hold chores gardening .My pet dogs -my most trusted & & loving companions to my single self -nowIi am a widow they are to me & i am to them the world!!
I like stitching embroidery-loved it as a teenager I like to tinker with this when i feel like I loved stitching dresses for my daughters & would love to do some for my grand daughters but now i feel times have changed so much that my effort will not meet their & their mothers approval as now so many beautiful things can be bought out of a ready made shops which are in plenty anywhere one goes
Reading is another passion I had -I still do but find my capacity to finish a book has gone down a lot -may be the book does not hold much interest to hang on to it .But still I still do read .The one thing i do e very morning is read the news paper completely fully from page one to the last !
I waych the TV as & when i want to do with following about 2-3 Hindi serials daily do not miss then if there is a current shut down -which is fairly comman on this side of the world!!
the next passion is My Computer this keeps me glued to the PC for hours -or till I get tired of it
face book & search engine to look for anything under the sky!I am glued to the PC as long as I want to the world has come to my door step with SKYPE talking to friends relatives is a joy which earlier in life was never ever done or dream of! now this is part of the every day life
I am very glad that i have seen this slow changing world & am still here to enjoy it
though i am retired I am comfortably well of financially for my day to day expenditure .I have just enough to be comfortably of doing what i want to do But yes I do have to ''edit '' my finances to keep me floating
Being a private practitioner I do not get any Pension but mange from the interest of the modest saving of my husband & myself
I am Happy to have lived a full life & enjoy my retirement.
I must thank the power above for all this & will be willingly be here till HE gives me a CALL to come up!
