Sorry for the tardy replies. Been so focused in the dungeon…
lightweightladylefty: Thanks! I hope they are to be golden years. I’ll accept silver and suffer with bronze if I must. No Tinman years. Nope. :)
Jack: Thanks! The same to you and yours.
The wife and I will be celebrating our 40th this fall. Seems like yesterday at times, forever when we are on each other’s nerves. Typical, I guess. Both our daughters are in their mid to late thirties, respectively, and live within an hour of each other. The oldest is stable, so we’re focusing on looking for a place that anchors us to her family and still within an hour of our younger daughter’s locale.
I’ve some physically limiting issues due to an accident a couple of years ago and just plain old age doing its worst. My productivity will be for me, my family, and for those I care enough about to extend myself. It’s no longer about the money anymore, as you’ve come to understand. Purpose and contentment, doing what I like to do.
