Thoughtful.....I've always been an advocate for working AND playing....or, working and developing interest and hobbies. I am passionate about flying, so most of the time I worked, I flew small private planes to meetings. I am passionate about sailing and most of the time I worked, I would find time to be on the water and take friends and associates along. So, when the time came to end full-time employment, it wasn't like flipping a switch. I just had more time to do things I always enjoyed along the way.
I've had too many friends who reach the point where they are going to retire with the question, "now what?"
Honestly, I never really have had to ask. My challenge is fitting it all in!
Of course, one passion was always writing and that just never seems to stop!
Thanks for giving us all a moment to reflect.
