I think you’ll be looking forward to a vry nice retirement. Adventures await!

You have time to do some thinking on how you would want to spend your retirement. I wrote a poem for my husband when he was about to retire.

Well one thing you can do is write and write. Your English is excellent so you can use it well on any writing site. You could maybe start writing for an academic writing site such as Uvocorp or EssayShark though you, as a former teacher, might be repelled by this idea.. But it is a suggestion that I do not make likely. These type of sites have given me some liberty to refine my writing skills, research subjects and write essays for students. I thoroughly enjoy writing for these types of assignments. Of course you might always look and write on more SEO type of sites such as Hire Writers, Zerys or Zemandi. Anyway good luck and enjoy your well deserved retirement.

You’ve done your part in the development of the country. I exalt you. I hope you get a good retirement. Please, try to enjoy your life a little bit. You’ve earned it.

It has never been easy for someone to finally say goodbye to a job that they have loved and have been committed to for so long. But as you say what goes up must come down that’s the hard truth. Now I know you ask emotional right now not knowing what is going to happen once you leave but God knows what your about to go throuh and he knows what will happen at that particular time. So just relax and embrace the idea am sure there is something ahead that will suit you just fine. So don’t be afraid of facing what is not known. It shall be well there are people who have retired in life and have not made it through the first year of retirement because they have retired with the thought in their mind that they will not be well.so take heart and move forward.

Wow! I love it! My favorite!It’s mouth watering foods!

This looks and sounds great. Can we support each other?

I am trying to follow you but I do not see that option.

Thanks for the feedback! 🙂 Yeah, it was one of those moments when I used the wooden chopping board our friend gave us. Oh, I used to enjoy it as a side dish when I was in Manila, too. But green mangoes are scarce over here. Or if it was available, it’s going to be too expensive!

You made me laugh when I read Number 5 because it reminded me of when I was little and my mom always telling me not to frown because my face would stay that way. The thought of my face having a permanent upside down smile was really scary! The thought now also makes me laugh. Laughter is universal. 🙂

When you think something is funny, you laugh. But do you know why and how you laugh? This part of the lesson addresses the science of laughter in terms of how the brain reacts to an external stimulus that is funny.

First of all, laughter is not the same as humor. Laughter is the physiological respo­nse to humor. Laughter consists of two parts — a set of gestures and the production of a sound. When we laugh, the brain pressures us to conduct both those activities simultaneously. When we laugh heartily, changes occur in many parts of the body, even the arm, leg and trunk muscles.

It is a solid fact that nothing balances your nervous system faster than communicating face-to-face with another person. Add laughter to that communication and you have a powerful antidote to stress, anxiety, pain, and conflict. Humor lightens your burdens, inspires hopes, connects you to others, and keeps you grounded, focused, and alert.

With so much power to heal and renew, the ability to laugh easily and frequently is a tremendous resource for surmounting problems, enhancing your relationships, and supporting both physical and emotional health.

Stop learning. Stop growing. I agree. Get an education. If the traditional method of schooling does not work for you, find another way. But get an education. Being ignorant is only going to hurt you.

There are many ways to get the education a person needs. If he could have it in a formal education for he has no time, for he is working full-time, there is a non-formal education which he could avail of. It may either be a home study, a modular study, or this so-called alternative learning system (ALS),

This is a real estate investing tip for when you go house hunting. If you see fruit trees in the yard, consider that home as a potentially worthwhile investment. The house I grew up in was built mostly from wood, but I wouldn’t trade the fruit trees that grew in our yard for anything! Sadly, my childhood home no longer exists. But I have the lesson in real estate investing that I learned from living there, to hold on to. 🙂

That is good advice. It is also my tendency to buy a lot with a tree growing. I feel better at home when I see trees around. I grew up in a place where trees are growing in abundance. Late in the after or even noon time, you could hear the beautiful sound from the chirping of the birds. It is so nice to see them playing on the branches of the trees.
