Yeah, I hear that.
As a friend of mine who recently retired said to me when I asked him how he was adapting to being retired, "I was BORN to be retired."
As for Connie and I, if we hadn't retired when we did, I'm not sure what condition (healthwise) we would be in right now. Working with as many animals as we had, it was a crushing burden that because it built up gradually over time, we never realized just how crushing it was till it was lifted from us.
