First Post

Well, this is my first attempt at blogging. Now that I have time--hence the blog title--I thought I'd give it a go. I was laid off after 15 1/2 years from a huge global corporation. It was a good thing. The job was uninteresting, my career was stagnant, and I think my brain was atrophying! Not that it was a bad place. On the contrary. I made some great friends there who enhance my life by being part of it now. And the company provided me with a lifestyle that I enjoyed: trips to Europe, shopping, wine-tasting, golf, skiing. In fact, everything I wanted! But now, without an income, I have to alter my ways. And you know what? I've learned a lot. How to live well on less. I have to think, and discover, and search out different ways to do things and still have fun. And my brain is working again! That's what this blog will be about. A diary of my new life. I hope you'll stick around to see how it goes!
