Arnold,
Personally, I am a retirement kind of guy. People ask, "How do you like being retired?" My answer is that I haven't found anything NOT to like about retirement. My biggest problem is paring down my interests so that I can give each of them proper attention.
But whether we retire or continue to follow a career, it makes little difference in the larger scheme of things. As long as what we do brings us joy and inner peace, that is what matters. There is an endless supply of fear, stress, anger and all of those things. Keeping them away from our metaphoric doors should be our primary mission.
Now, to the real meat of this reply. One interest I developed after retirement is my train layout. Every time I walk past it, it brings a smile to my face--not just some of the time or part of the time, but EVERY time. Now, that is priceless.
Terry
