That said, don’t expect to have more time on your hands anytime soon. Believe it or not, I’m busier than ever these days. Sometimes I wonder how I ever managed to find the time to go to work!
Wishing you all the best as you embark on this journey.

I used the 1st 18 months of my retirement to restore my truck. It gave me a reason to get out of bed in the morning.

It does take a while to adjust, so don't feel like something is weird or wrong if you feel a little like your in "freefall" for a little while ... it's normal. You'll adjust.
