The people I know who are not retired operate on a different frequency than mine. Their time is spoken for in advance and many tell me I am fortunate.
I always say to be careful what they wish for.
Retirement is not easy if you have been accustomed to action for decades. Suddenly you need to define what your life means outside of all that tumult plus potentially deal with any unresolved personal issues.
When you get here you permit yourself to be in retrospective mode. You look back on your life and marvel at how you were able to get through all that.
It's a testament to human perseverance.
Many people can't wait to get where I am only to realize it's not what they expected. Like everything else, one gets used to it and the novelty eventually wears off.
Am I aching to return to career? like I need a hole in the head.
However when we stop, meaning and purpose are placed on the table and examined which is why I tell people to think about their change of life in advance.
