Welcome to retirement. I hung it up after 42 years. I just walked in one day and thought, "It's done. Time to change." I liked my job and all, but just got tired of somebody else's schedule. Gave the boss six month's notice and left in 2012. When I woke up at "regular" time the next day, I just smiled and poured a leisurely cup of coffee and watched the sunrise. For the first time in many, many years I wasn't rushing around, gulping down breakfast and dashing out the door.
Now I garden, go to the range, Mrs. G. and I head up to the shores of Lake Erie and walk along the beach at Fairport or Mentor, and take short road trips together. I was made for this.
You've done the right thing. I can tell you, the nicest part is when you find your own rhythm and discover what you really like doing vs. what you're supposed to do.
1. If you import the Third World, you become the Third World. It really is that simple.
2. The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was to convince the world he didn't exist
3. If you have not been to the range in a month, you are under performing.
