Retirement isn't the end but the start. It was absolutely the best thing I ever did but not an easy decision at the time.

No more days off now every days a work day when you retire. Keep busy do the things you could not do before and enjoy your life.

Congratulations, I retired two years ago but truly 3 months ago as I went back. It is truly different and so nice to do things for you and if you not done you can work on it tomorrow. My wife said I tried to do 34 years of catch-up in two months, pace yourself, and enjoy.

Do the things you have always wanted to do. While you have your health and still want to do them. Travel especially. Have or develop a hobby. I say , when asked, what did you do today. My usual answer is something , unimportant. Have been doing it for 24 years, still enjoying it old243

I retired 10 years ago, in July, at age 61 and 1/2. I started volunteering at my grand kids grade school library. Next year will be my 10th volunteering and and my last year volunteering as it will be the last year I will have a grandkid in grade school. It’s been enjoyable but I will be 73 then and I have a few more things that I want to do around the place.
Although my 10 year old grand child wants me to come and work at the middle school library.

You will find that there is not enough hours in the day to get things done that you want to do.
I found it you don't have something to do it will play mind games with you.
Enjoy your time
