I guess i hardly have free time now. My monthly schedule is always filled with spiritual development activities nowadays either giving-taking or me time. I've lived my life to the fullest i think..15 yrs of studies, 15 yrs of teaching and been travelling local and abroad during our working days..east and west..loved outdoor..hiking, jungle trekking, paragliding, jet skiing, snorkelling, horseriding, i love long distance driving, beaches, bike riding. When i dont travel...its brisk walking every weekend at the lake, swimming in the pool downstairs, aerobics classes, yoga classes every other day rotation, movies, kareoke, snooker, archery, table tennis...thats been my activities until i was down with SLE and later fibromyalgia. So since then..most of my activities will be indoor...i drive only door to door cuz the sunlight hurts and its one of the flare factors thats been limiting my activities.

In my faith...after 40 is the crucial time for reflection, spiritual development, charity, religious activities and the like. So i am spending most of my time for that now be it with myself...family...charity groups or doing my parttime job. This weekend i was scheduled for a 2 days seminar outstation but i was down with mense cramps i cancelled my registration and enjoyed my me-time when i'm up to it.. reading and had a couple of online classes, lunch with son.

Tomorrow and the whole wk will be really busy..2 hospital appointments, 3 alternate nights driving outstation for classes, visiting mom, visiting 2 scholars, some charity work and the list continues til month end. What did you do before u retired? Being a teacher i am knowledge oriented..so u see..retired or not am always hooked up with classes and loving it 😁
