I retired in 2015 as I was turning 65. In the balance of things, I’d have to say I’m glad I did. It’s nice to get a paycheck. It’s good to feel independent and productive, the socialization is good, too, but there are perks to being free to make your own schedule. It took a while to adjust, then there was Covid. I was glad I could stay home without a job to worry about, and no kids at home anymore. I’m sure I have watched too much Tv, more news shows than ever before. I felt like I was coming from behind, because I’ve never really paid much attention to what was going on in the world. That’s a little embarrassing, and yet I have gotten along just fine. Now I have access to more news than I can absorb and make sense of, but I try. Interesting for sure, as I think the future will be also. I pray for our country, and the world. Praying for peace, especially in Ukraine at this time.
