The
Question of the Month is a bloghop that occurs the first Monday of each month and it is
hosted by Michael G D'Agostino from A Life Examined. Here is this month’s question:
“What does
retirement look like for you?”
When I was in high school, I would
have said I wanted to sell everything and travel the continental United States
in an RV with my husband. As I’ve gotten older, I still love traveling and road
trips, but I also like to have a place to call home, so I think I would have a
more permanent residence and travel occasionally. I do hope I’ll be married with
children by the time I retire and I imagine I would enjoy hosting family
get-togethers or visiting relatives a lot. On quiet days at home, I would still
be writing and probably take up knitting or quilting, and keep a small garden.
I would like to have a home in a quiet, secluded area, preferably near some
mountains. As to what I’d be retiring from, that all depends on if I ever get
married. If I were married, I would be a homemaker, so technically, I would
never really retire, because I would want to continue to have the grandkids
over to visit. I guess, married or not, if my writing career takes off, I might
eventually come to a point where I slow down and let the royalties continue to roll
in (LOL), but I would not completely stop writing. In other words, I’m probably
never going to retire :)
