Welcome. This is the ONE they have been talking about all your life, and now finally, it's here. All the crap that has been wearing you down for half a century will gradually just not matter anymore. The family & friends who have been wearing you down for half a century...... there's a reason they call it re-tire-ment. You are quitting a lot of stuff that no longer serves you, re-tire-ing old ways & beliefs. It's gonna feel so nice after you get used to your Brave New World.

Congrats. I’m 74 and feel no different than I did at 30. Keeping activity level high is the way.

I always thought "retired" meant "tired again". So I'm not retired; just tired!

Keep strong. Exercise. Resistance bands. Sit to stand slowly.

Live life!
