First thing I noticed is there are only 12 hrs in a day instead of the 24 when I had to work at a job. 2nd thing was how everyone would say "since you have nothing to do now" can you do this or that..it took a while to learn to say no to some. (I had to get some of my things done too) I figured I would do more hunting,fishing but again, there just seemed to not be enough time in the day. Honey do list. Amazing how that list just never ends. I get to spend more time at my sportsmens club and amazing how much needed done. Not much time for fishing there..more like working on equipment, grass mowing etc etc.. I still am up and outside at 4AM like I had been for years due to that internal alarm clock. The important thing is keep busy. Do at least 1 thing every day that makes a difference either in your life or someone elses. I guess that would come under the volunteer for something part...even though I learned from the military not to volunteer for anything..lol..you will get your turn. I love to wood carve and do so in some gun stocks and in the canes I make...dabble in the wet on wet painting...You still have to give back so volunteer for something. Keep moving if you retire but it is nice to move at your own pace. Enjoy life and family..we only get a short time on earth so make a memory.
