so many people, esp. men, who have lived for their work, find life after retirement unbearable (so i hear). i think it's wise to taper off, work part time or at a less stressful job, something that you really love. volunteer work has served me well, for many reasons,,, i keep my skills up, and i love what i do, and i love that it is helping others.

i wish you the best in the coming years, good changes... and do keep in touch with us~
