What is the new old age?

I’ll be looking at retirement next year and I am not sure I’m ready. I’ve spent most of my life doing manual labor in the maintenance field. It takes a beating on your body let me tell you. My knees are bad my shoulder is starting to ache and things are starting to slow down. But I just don’t know if I want to stop working.

Honestly I never thought I would get this far in life. I guess most people don’t think about it but I have had many milestones that I have passed. Thirty being the biggest one. Now that I am sixty one I am amazed I am thinking of what am I going to do if I retire.

I know I could conceivable live another thirty years. But lets face it there is just not that many home repairs to keep me that busy. I have many interests but they take money.

Our weekend exercise on Sunday morning. We made about 2.5 miles.
