Here in Ireland, I've been walking daily, even in Here in Ireland, I've been walking daily, even in the rain. Investing in waterproof gear, warm boots, and clothing is essential to keep exercising. 

Since we are in a tiny little village, there are no gyms, but fortunately, there are plenty of steep hills and stairs, which is perfect for maintaining our physique and a good routine. Walking and breathing in the fresh sea air relaxes and invigorates positive mental health. 

As we get older, we need to be consistent with exercise, so I encourage you to put it on your daily to-do list and, without fail, and get some walking done. #retiermentlife #retimentplan #healthylifestyle #loveyyourbodynow #kinsaleireland Follow me on @anillustrativelife Newsletter out biweekly now.

Ready Set go~ Let’s Transition into Retirement! Ready Set go~ Let’s Transition into Retirement! Are we ready? 

Can't avoid it, it's here, and now what?

As we enter this new season of life, our aim should be to catch as much pleasure as possible wherever possible. 

Now it's your turn; what truly brings you joy? 
Let's "Dream Map" together. 

There is so much more to Retirement. It's not about not showing up for work and doing nothing; it's about embracing a new chapter where you have the freedom and flexibility to pursue your dreams and live on your terms. 

Take the time now to imagine and dare to dream of the endless opportunities still open to you and start planning for the Retirement you deserve.  I love taking classes and have time now, too, so here is an example of an online course from @wildink_artclass @wildinksketch where I learned how to linocut. 
Check her class library. It's full of great fun classes.
