I was forced into early retirement by my last breakdown and the ensuing depression and chronic fatigue. After 32 years of working (and much of it involving long hours and extensive overtime), it took a long time to learn how to relax and enjoy life. The thing I love most about being retired is that I get to pick and choose what I want to do, when I want to do it and how long I want to do it for! After years of trying to keep up with everyone else's drumbeats, I'm finally living life at my own pace and am much healthier for it.
