"Freedom stopped feeling spacious and started feeling slippery" — that's the first year of retirement in one sentence.

I kept asking myself the same question: another big job, volunteer work, a side hustle? I had the capability for any of it. That was almost the problem. I started writing to figure out which road to take.

Turns out the writing became the workbench itself.

Loved reading about your father. Most work is unglamorous and repetitive. Also I like the playroom concept!

Thank you! Had a lot of fun discussing it all with my siblings, too! The playroom idea has really helped me want to be at my desk, and you know how much I need to be there!

What a lovely way to re-look at your "office." I'm going to start calling mine a play room too!

Glad you liked it! The rebrand really helps me want to be at my desk. Kinda my favorite place to be now. Thanks for the re-stack, too❣️

It's making me want to jazz up my space too. Make it full of the whimsy I want! I just put up some lacy curtains to that effect.

I’d love to replace my mini-blinds with lacy curtains! Thanks for the idea❣️
