I've been retired for 5 years. I absolutely love NOT having to be in a routine, schedule, and rush!! I now enjoy doing the things I want to do whenever I want to, having the leisure time to do so. Rest and relaxation is NOT a bad thing. It's really OK not to be busy all the time or necessarily have something to do. Oh well, that's at least my mantra. Great piece, Kim. Enjoy your well-deserved retirement in good health.

Thanks Nick! And I agree. One of my favorite things is not having to rush anywhere!

Exactly how I feel! I’m hoping to retire in the next year or so and R&R is topmost in my mind. Having control over my daily activities is something I am looking forward to!!
