Guys, I found that retirement took a little getting used to. It's not hard though, if you work at it.
After spending my whole working life getting up at 4:30 in the morning, sleeping in till 6 or 7 was a little unusual but It didn't take long to master it.
Also, sitting outside on the back deck, watching the morning begin, while drinking coffee was a bit strange, instead of guzzling it down as I headed out the door.
Waking up in the morning without having a mental list of things that HAD to get done that day was also liberating. You still have the mental list but if it gets done that day, or the next, or even that whole week is entirely up to you. Oh heck, cancel everything and go fishing or take an impromptu road trip.
You can tell that I've loved my 18-years of retirement. It's been invigorating.
