Well, it’s interesting – I’ve now been officially retired for 7 days – and I really wish I hadn’t retired. I do miss going to work and I do miss the people and friends that I worked with. If I knew 3 months ago what I know now I would not have retired. Oh well, I am… so now it’s making the best of it.
Nancy and I are on our way to Florida and then we’re going on a cruise out of Miami. That will be fun and it will hopefully give me time to think what this next chapter will be about.
I will start working at the Temple one day a week – I promised my daughter that I’d paint her front porch in the spring. My son is getting married in June and my youngest daughter is getting married in July, and my grandson has some wrestling matches that I want to attend. So I do have stuff to do.
I hoping to expand my e-bay store – I need to do some more research on book collecting. I’m thinking of getting a part-time job at maybe Staples or Office Depot. I would like to take all of January and February off to find out what my passion really is –
I know that I am passionate about Heaven Father and Jesus Christ – I’m passionate about family – I’m passionate about helping people get alone – team-building. I’m passionate about teaching people and I’m also passionate about learning.
I rereading Hyrum W. Smith’s book – What Matters Most – I’ve read it a couple of times, its really good. But many of my roles are now past – and I now have some new roles. And before I can really determine what I’m passionate about and what I want to do with this next chapter, I need to redo my Role, Mission, and my Governing Values – once I have these down – Then I will know what to do.
