All my life I have felt guilty about not doing something-- a letter or document to write, a task to do, homework not done. I'm just wondering if being retired means not having to feel guilty and just doing the things you want to do. Today I'm really happy looking in the Toll House, finding things I'd forgotten I have, rearranging things in the house, sorting our things to sell/give away/ recycle. At the back of my mind is the propect of visitors, shared meals, prepared beds, generally good times with friends and family. It's complete contentment. Shall I give up all committments? Am I ready for retirement (and accompanying, well not poverty but less affluence)? Maybe I am.
