Being free
All the above and one other thing we have found to be quite relaxing, being empty nesters. No more people in and out the door and attending gawd many kid events. Now we feel a bit out of sorts if someone is staying to long or staying over night. We knew we had a busy house and schedule thus the phrase "I don't know how we did it!" is still occasionally talked about. It's a very peaceful yet invigorating nudist life these days.
Being free of all official duties is quite nice. The consistent 4:30 AM get out of bed routine has dropped to about 6AM...it is good to sleep in just a little. No more events/games/PTA to have on the schedule takes quite a load off. But the flip side is the somewhat frequent grand parent duty; it is a great thing to do if it doesnt become all encompassing. I do enjoy the free time but often say to myself, what do I need to be doing now? We will get there...not sure how long it will take.
I've never cared much about what other people thought of me. I was never going to change for someone, other than my lovely nudist wife. She, on the other hand, did care about what people thought about her and for the most part, still does. My body has been through quite a bit in my 69 years. Being a kid, HS sports, the military, various jobs that had me doing strenuous work and 32 years as a firefighter. I've also lived and ate, drank what I wanted and was reasonably healthy. All my ailments, scars, bulges, rolls have shown that I've lived a great life thus far and I'm not ashamed or worried about what other people think. I'm not going to have that HS sports body again, nor the Navy body or the FD body. I'm not going to do things to myself that would never please anyone else, so I only have one person to answer to and that's my wife.
Having been nudists throughout our entire married lives and to this day, we love and live for one another the way we are. It took a little time to adjust to that "filled out" person in the mirror but we adjusted and are happy with who we are. Nudism did that for Di. I always had the attitude that it's who I am, and I can't change it without doing things to myself, I don't feel like doing! ;DD
We had a lunch date today, but it just got canceled. We would be getting dressed about now but now we don't have to. We will, instead, begin taking down all the decorations in our home and doing it freely and naked! By the 5th - the 30th time I touch, pat, rub, squeeze and caress my wife's nude body, she'll again realize that I love her the way she is now, just as I did when she was 16.
