Well, it's 4:30 am here, and I've been awake since 1:00 am. But it's for a good reason: I feel happy and free!!! It's been 6 weeks since I retired, and I'm finally starting to relax about a lot of things. And getting to do things I enjoy doing. Since I woke up at 1:00, that Monty Python song, "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" has been running through my head- and I don't mind one bit, because I can NAP tomorrow (...I mean today! :p ) if I need to!!!
I'm too excited to go back to sleep! :):):)

The second verse of that song isn't so inspirational.
"Always look on the bright side of death".
From LIFE OF BRIAN.
That movie was boycotted in my home town and I saw it about 20 years later.
Good old Bible belt!

I've often got that song in my head! :)
i'm glad you're happy and starting to enjoy this new phase in your life.
I know you well enough to know you'll find plenty to occupy yourself and have fun with.
Morning, Bea!

The Archbishop of Canterbury and most of the rest of the Church of England also called for a boycott.
The resulting publicity helped box office receipts no end.

Congratulations on your retirement.
I'm nearly there and it's scaring me to death.
I retired a long time ago, but seem to be working nearly as much as I did before.
It's pretty good though, I can choose to work or not, have no bosses and only work at home.
Finally getting done all the things I never had time to do before.

It's a big adjustment, but it's worth it for me. You might surprise yourself. Of course, you might go on to have a totally different second career- it's happened more than once!!!! :)

I love the silliness and sassiness (cheekiness, as per our UK friends! :p ) of singing and dancing in the face of death. :p
