Irwin on retirement

Just a thought I wanted to share with those reading this site.

Being retired now for many a year, just wanted to share one of our secrets to starting our day out with a smile.

Every morning after coffee or sometimes while I am having my coffee, my wife and I sit on our sofa, and I call up a Funny Joke (Can be found at 1Funny.com Newsletter) and listen to it. Usually there is a funny joke or something that will get you smiling and laughing.

If I find there is nothing there (on 1Funny.com newsletter) that we can listen to, I search Facebook for a humorist (Jeanne Robertson comes to mind) and call up one of her standup routines.

Bottom line is that just those 10 or 15 minutes of listening to someone that makes us laugh usually puts us in the spirit we need to be in to get on with our day.

Try it - it works. Just my little two cents worth to share with fellow retirees. Y'all have a good day now, ya hear!
