Staying Busy

Staying busy with your new career of retirement.  Retirement is not all about sitting in front of the TV or fishing for the next 6-12 months and expecting to be happy and healthy for the rest of your life.  For some that just maybe the case but for others like myself that is not the case.  For my I am the type who loves staying busy doing things around the house and to walk my pet Bull Dog for morning and evening walks which for the most part is good for both of us meaning my pet Bruno.  He loves it as much as I do and for my waistline also.  I stayed in the workforce for many years because I am a worker who worked staying at the age of six working on the farm with my family until the age of 21 and joining the US Army for 22 years.  I was a scout meaning in combat we were the first one in and the last one out in the fighting process and I got the opportunity back in 1991 of going off to war and putting those skill to work for me and my crew.  Being in combat arms mean you are a very busy person working on different skill sets and dealing with a lot of people and living in the woods most of the time.  The day I hanged up the uniform did not mean for me that was not the end of staying active and that is what I did by work three jobs and going to school full time.  That was fun or not.  Now that I am fully retired does not in way form or fashion that it is time for me to slow done and let my health start declining on me.  That is the time when you step it up another knot and beginner working even harder is staying in shape and even sometime that will also fail you in ways that you could never imagine.  Meaning that all the wonderful things I done in the military of training hard and being totally demanding on my body finally took it toll later in my life and things started health wise started to affect me physically and mentally and that is why staying busy in life doing productive things will help keep you on your feet.
