No Job for Cowards, Retirement

Learning to Be

Here’s something I wrote last July before I retreated from retirement, getting back on the tractor, so to speak. Some of you will have no trouble leaving the workforce when your time comes. Some of you will fail miserably at retirement. Don’t beat yourselves up. You’ll get another chance, as will I.

It’s not escaped me that I’m working as hard to be retired as I did when I worked for a living. It’s ironic that when I worked my fantasy was having nothing to do and now that fantasy’s morphed into having something to do. Retirement isn’t all fun and games, folks. It’s a total reset of one’s identity. It’s no job for cowards.
