You sound like me. Went to work at a job I loved and enjoyed but one morning after I started work, I said to myself, "I can't do this any more." There were physical and political reasons but the political reasons pushed me over the edge. It wasn't that I was involved in the politics but it was reaching down to us and after 38 years I decided I didn't need it any more. Went down the next morning and signed my retirement papers and 60 days later I was gone. Weired feeling walking out of the building on the last day after say goodbye. Now I am busier than ever and after 8 years it was best decision I ever made. Been back to visit twice the last time will be my last, it's all changed. The nice thing about retirement is you make the decisions as to what, when, where and how and IF. I have been fortunate to be able to bond with the grandkids and teaching them things like fishing, pen turning and other things to do with their hands and minds. Enjoy your time, you have earned it.
