when I think it would be nice to have a job again, and then there are those days when I get up not feeling
particularly on top of the world, and am glad I don't have to go to work. I only have a very small SS check
each month, but I have learned to adapt. It hasn't been easy though. I was used to buying just about
whatever I wanted............now.........just the essentials.. I don't miss that alarm clock though!!
I worked until I was 70........figured that was long enough! I do understand your feelings.
