I’m looking forward to reading some of the many books I find collecting dust on my shelf. A glass of ice tea, a good book, and my kitty at my side…what could be better?

I want to build my Mary Kay business up again, I have been taking it for granted even though I know that it takes work to succeed. I will check up on my customers and let them know that I am still here for their every need with regards to skin care and beauty products.

As this is my first summer of retirement I am looking forward to spending time with my kids and grandkids.  It is a little bit tough because I am my 96 year old fathers care giver and I don't drive.  Somehow I work it out though.  As I read more and more I realize that what I am going through mentally is common for seniors.  I'm hoping to work this out over the summer so I can really enjoy this stage of life.
