I retired from stressful job 11/2003. I haven't found the time to sleep in or slow down yet. I do make a weekly schedule (and sometimes work the plan) only because I have so much to do. All of it is stuff I want to do, not stuff someone else tells me I 'should' do. Because I have a tendency to get 'too focused' on one thing - quilting, I took some classes at local jr. college to learn other stuff. I learned some things I want to do more of and do, and some things I now know I'm not interested in. Like the lady said earlier, Retirement is what U make of it. ENJOY.
