one life circumstance
his name is Stupid Kitty (for real)

If you had ask me,

What will you do with your time when you retire? The first thing I always said, "there is not enough hours in the day to do all the things I want to do.

Then I would tell you the first things on my list.

• sit in the chair zone and read books

I planned to read and read until I was bored with reading.And I did do a good amount of that.

• just sit in the chair and do nothing. just. sit.

I have done a lot of that too.

• sit in the chair and stitch until I became bored with stitching.

I did

• paint, paint, and paint some more

By my standards, it doesn't feel like I have done much painting at all. I haven't.

• grow my art business

• garden

• clean house

• visit friends

And so on and so on and so on.

One thing I remember, I was in full-on immersion of my online class, A Diary of Faces.  I started the 18  week class in July knowing we were close to a sale of the business. Because the class was in organic diary format, I knew my commitment would be gigantic. (perfect for retirement) The class was and still is an enormous success with approximately 140 videos that I shot, edited and presented on most week days for 18 weeks. My contribution to the class ended November 9, 2012.


Today's Truth: In the end, I was totally exhausted and in burn-out mode from those 140 videos.  On top of that, it was during this time there was an undercurrent of the "life circumstances" that would come to bare by the end of the month. No doubt this contributed to my exhaustion.
