I thought you were announcing your retirement from writing and I was very very worried. Phew! Oh and I'm still thinking about what to have at my covid yard sale. I have all sorts of things around the house that I never got to (books, puzzles, etc) but I'm not sure which ones are from covid.
But... but... I'm gonna do it someday (the 2k piece puzzle)! Like, when I retire maybe. You remember how hard it was to get puzzles during covid? I actually ordered a 1k puzzle and they sent me 2k by mistake which was kind of exciting, but also made me realize that the chances of ever doing it went down... it's a bit of a commitment. I do love puzzles, it's such a zen thing for me... it's just me and the pieces and everything fades away.
AZ here too - does Girl Scout Camp count? Ok a bunch of teens at a Methodist MYF retreat - that one was really really great! I have not yet grown a beard but I’m considering it.
No, I've been scared of meditation retreats... soo meditative, don't I do that in my own skewed way daily? I'll just find out how un-whatever I am. And now I know why.
Writer (God it feels good to say that without wincing--you're one, too, Anna, as well as retired. You can swim in my pond if you'll let me swim in yours. I have actual ducks sometimes--so charming)
It was a yoga/meditation hybrid (down the street from where I was living) and no chairs...butts on floors. (There was also the all-chick trip a boss of mine gifted me where I knew no one. We went to Moab. There was yoga, release ceremony, a death-defying scale of a rock wall at The Arches, a sweat lodge, biking the Hurrah Pass, and a hike along the Colorado River we all barely survived, camels and deep conversations from gifted box wine after we drank our purchased supplies...and I told our leader she didn't get enough. I'm sure that trip was a mediation on something.)
Aspiring happiness facilitator (I really, really, really don't like the word "coach"...but it's been challenging trying to find a replacement, and I don't think that F word is it).
I'm guessing guru isn't better. Guide? Helper? none of those work. I am going to think about that happiness word. I'm sure I will come up with something!
Thank you! No matter what combo I've tried, it just sounds super douchey. (Not like the entirety of the coaching industry isn't awash with that anyway. LOL) xo
Energy makes me think I can be un-retired, or semi-retired. But it doesn’t last as long anymore, so I get confused as to what if I will be able to work again. 🫤
At least you got to Riverside Drive!

You know they don't need to be from Covid to sell them. But I will take all puzzles 1k pieces or larger.

Me too! I worried for awhile! ❤️
Same!
Arizona. No, but I'd LURVE to go to one.
Just make sure it doesn't have folding chairs!
BWAHA!! Noted. I'll ask ahead of time. LOL

PS: I think you did win the retreat! xo

Canada. No. Same same. Unemployed. Retired? I think so. Sometimes I say semi-retired depending on how I’m feeling that day.
What is it about the day? Exhaustion makes you feel un-retired and energy makes you feel retired? The opposite? Something else.
