	Nola Ochs has truly reached 'self-actualization', a goal all of us strive for but many can't quite reach. Her new career sounds like a real holiday. Outstanding! I toy with the idea of going back to school, but just to sit in on classes instead of working for a grade. Just to keep my two brain cells in shape, ya know :-) You say that you're 'moving on up' and that this is your '2nd retirement'. 'Promotion'? Fill me in as I think I may have missed something.

Lorraine,

I was a teacher for 23 years. After my husband died I did not want to go to teacher----burn out ya know. Instead I began with a temperary service and eventually found a full time job in a warehouse where I have worked for 9 years.

This meant I went to bed about 8 pm and got up at 4:30. On overtime it was 7:00 o bed and up at 3:30. Not much fun and no LIFE.

I finally made the break and am now fully retired living on retirement income. In 3 weeks I go to Washington DC to work in a guest house for 2 weeks in May and 1 in June. Then 5 weeks at a camp in Michigan. I'll do some story telling too, just like Nola.

Sleeping in to 6:30 am is moving on up to me. Working without pay is moving on up also as I have totaly downsized in needs and responsibilities. I feel like I will have a freer life with fewer things controlling my life. That's moving on up to me.!
