Retirement is always a time of adjustment in so many ways. It's so amazing how our perception of the passage of time can change so drastically, depending on our circumstances. I am making progress, but it's more like one step forward and two steps back.<br />Love and blessings!Martha Jane Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620499267401065780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-71892517458270341712022-03-31T19:33:28.862-07:002022-03-31T19:33:28.862-07:00My husband retired in January, and it's all be...My husband retired in January, and it's all been an adjustment. We sleep a little later but now since the times change my body has no clue it changed at all. We've been going to the second service at church though because the 9 0,clock feels like 8. One thing I know about time is sometimes an hour seems like 6 hours and other times a week seems like a blink of the eye depending on what is happening.
