I retired at 59 (63 now)... in good health so I started yoga classes and absolutely loved them. It did take me a couple of years to slow down as the work schedule and mind set was a bit challenging to change... (It sometimes caught me off-center not to identify with my work), my nest emptied at the same time so I spent many many hours doing my favorite things: reading, reading, reading, some writing and presentations, a little traveling (London, Germany), a bit of volunteer work and visiting my son (in another state). I have since slowed down the last couple of years which is wonderful...I am finally off the hamster wheel. So now I mostly read, Tai Chi, visit my son, have a cup of tea whenever I want and this last year I have taken up quilting (a new love). So, I would suggest to be patient and you will find a path that is perfectly suited to you. Enjoy!
