My Retirement Plan:  Make every day Saturday …except Saturday which becomes Super Saturday….

I have always loved Saturday’s.   For years I have tried to find a way to fit a day in between Saturday and Sunday to make it last …. I tried taking a Friday or Monday off to see if that would help, but nothing beats a Saturday…

Why is it that Saturday morning coffee, breakfast, cartoons, people all seem better than on any other day of the week? There must be something special about this day that magically makes life better….So, my plan for retirement which starts at the end of this week is to:

Make every day Saturday …except Saturday which will become Super Saturday….
Since announcing my retirement everyone is curious about what I am going to be doing with myself. Frankly it was a little bit stressful not having some awesome plan like saving the planet or world peace to report as the new driving force in my life.  I told myself I was not going to stress over having an elaborate plan that detained day by day goals and objectives…. So here is a short list of Saturday’s Daily Menu:

• Wear pajamas much more often
• Stop setting the alarm clock… and stressing about time in general
• Take longer runs, bike rides and swims… and stop along the way to take mental images of the beautiful area I live in.
• Become a tourist in New England…
• Focus on healthy…eating, reading, exercise
• Be more social…

After all I’m just a kid from Cambridge…who grew up loving, wishing for and dreaming about Saturday’s….  It took a long time but I finally figured out that by retiring everyday but Saturday my wish could come true…. Carpe Satur-diem
