We do most of our living between Friday night and Monday morning. Monday morning is the time to reflect on the weekend and get back into our week day routine . As I get older it becomes more difficult to get myself moving on Monday morning. I guess that is part of what retirement planning is about - letting go of the weekday routine and spreading the rest of your life over seven days!

!It has been over a year since I started this blog and a couple of months since my last post. Another tell tale sign of growing older.... time seems to take flight ..... a year goes by in a blink and losing track of time becomes more routine.
I started my foray into social media - twitter, facebook and blog - to honour my good friend Eleanor - her sense of adventure and being forever young.
I have enjoyed facebook...it has been fun and proved to be a great way to reconnect with some people in my life. 130 friends and I post fairly regularly.
Twitter a bit more of a challenge....I find there is a lot of useless info and way too much so I don't follow as often and definitely don't post. I use Twitter mostly to push by blog posts and as a result have over 400 followers.
My blog .... although I have been lapse of late, it has been an education. I think to have picked a focus of my blog .... retirement planning....emerging senior was a good thing to do. It is just difficult to keep this at the forefront. My posting about letting my hair go gray has had the most interest and have had followers from all sorts of "Going Gray" groups and an invite to go to London England to participate in summit. Who knew?
I have recently registered on pinterest but I think I will use that mostly for our new business.
So in the coming year, my goal is get better at twitter, refocus my attention on Emerging Senior blog and explore how pinterest, and other online communities such as Etsy could be helpful to the mac.gillet gallery.
In terms of retirement....not ready yet but feeling a lot more prepared. I better review my post with my retirement checklist to see how things are progressing.....
