Harlene - thanks!  Darla as stopped bleeding, but still has cramps and is so sore - whatever that that's all about.  The twins are drinking more breast milk and growing out of their preemie sleepers.  They have long legs!

Ruby - how old are your grandchildren? I can hardly wait for the time I can hear them talk! Sure do wish Darla could be without pain. Still praying.

Nancy - I understand how you feel about hearing not such good news about your kitty.  That's how it is for our Sammy too, so much wrong with his health, it's so sad. Still he's in good spirits and still coughs alot.

3suwm5 - You're so welcomed to the inspriations. I'm so glad the Q lets me share them here!  Darla is still in pain, please pray for her healing, the babies are fine.  I will rest when I can - will be there tomorrow again and overnight tomorrow night so Darla can rest.  Thursday off, but have appointments.  Sleep in between!!

I am new to this thread and also newly retired earlier than most and trying to find my way in this new life I've begun and working on finding the positive which at times eludes me, this new experience is sometimes overwhelming, until I remember why I left my employment early and I look at the positive influence it has had on me in just a few short weeks as I worked in a toxic place for over twenty years and could take no more, I realize that it was truly the best decision I ever made for myself. Like a woven shirt, the threads of negative and positive are constantly bumping into each other. I know with time the negative emotions will sub-side and postive will be a friendly reminder of why I left and the amazing effect it has on my life. This decision although very hard, was, indeed one of the best decisions I've made in my life.

I retired in 2010 after 38 years of Federal service.

My work place was periodically toxic and I had no idea how much it affected me until I left.

Now, each day is as quiet or as busy as i want it to be.  Not everything is perfect, but I am able to deal with things in my time.

It wasn't long before I forgot all about work and the negativity.  You will too!

My favorite time is early morning when I take my 3 kitties out for a walk.  I could not do that when I worked.  Now, I have all day to let them in and out!

I feel each day is a gift and a blessing.
