in Introduce Yourself
I am newly retired (at 53, a bit early to take care of my Mom). I am excited to let go of the 24/7/365 work. I worked 31 years and feel like it's the perfect time to learn to love and care for myself and my family. I am a self professed workaholic, so this is a major change and I am a bit terrified at the moment, but I know I can do this! Would love some friends for mutual support on the journey!

    I lived in GP for several years. I'm home, retired, all that. Stay busy and active.

    Hey hey, H-town here. Well, actually we recently moved out of the city, but I still commute during the work week, so I feel justified in claiming as home :)

    Retirement is a huge step. I wish you great peace in your new lifestyle.

    I'm 65 and still working part-time in H-town. You can do this. Plan out your day every morning, even your exercise.
