I can’t say that there are major changes in my life, but there are certainly notable changes, no matter how silly or odd some of them may seem. I thought I should make a list of them in no particular order of importance:

  • I’ve added hooded sweatshirts to my retirement wardrobe
  • I’ve grown to like Brussels sprouts
  • Bread is no longer the most important part of a meal
  • I’m fascinated with genealogy
  • I don’t have to have popcorn to enjoy a movie
  • I now order my eggs sunny side up
  • I prefer staying home
  • My patience has grown thinner
  • Colorful socks are my favorite item of clothing
  • I’m much more environmentally conscious
  • I’m thoroughly disgusted with politics
  • I enjoy being around our pets
  • Material goods are less important
  • Family is everything
  • A judgmental person is the worst kind
  • Knowledge is key
  • Health is precious
  • Flossing is essential
  • Shaving in the shower saves time and mess
  • It no longer matters what day it is
  • Recipes are simply a guideline
  • Reading the instructions saves time and frustration
  • You can never make too many lists
