While sitting around the fire last night my wife asked me a question that I don't have the answer to and I hope some of you, who have the experience of full timing can help with.
To start with......my wife and I are best friends, business partners and lovers. We've been married for over 36 years and for the last 16 years we've been together almost all the time (unless I had to travel on short over the night trips). We each bring something different to our marriage and business so we make a great team. And we have 3 great adult sons to show for it as well as a successful business that we started in the corner of a bedroom.
Ginny's question......"what are we going to do when we go full time to occupy our minds?" Our business has eaten most of our days for so long that when the time comes to walk away, what are our days going to be like?
I've been an amateur photographer for years and Ginny likes reading. Of course I like helping people so I've considered being part of the emergency response folks helping after disasters but this really isn't Ginny's cup of tea. So I'm asking all of you, who have have already experiences this change in life, what should we expect and what do we have to look forward to? What hobbies do you have and find rewarding? Since I drove big trucks for 20 years, I enjoy driving but this would wear on Ginny and sooner or later I'd run out of fuel.
Thanks in advance for your help
