Good. That means you are emotionally ready. Have you started making lists, or dreaming about all the things you want to do with your time. The best thing for me is that I'm in charge of my schedule. Also, I keep all my activities and appointments on a large weeksly calendar. If it starts looking too full, I know I'm in charge and can decide what to change or cancel. Start dreaming and thinking about posibilities. It will help with the transition.
