Congratulations to all upcoming retirees from this retiree.
My paternal grandfather once said that retirement was the best thing to happen to a working man. I would add "and woman," but he was right. He was actually the first in his family to retire on a pension. Previous generations in his family worked till they died.
Just be sure to have some things with which to occupy yourself -- volunteering, travel, hobbies, puttering around the house, something.
My maternal grandfather did nothing all day but sit and watch tv. In a few years, body and mind turned into mush and he was gone in 7 years. Don't be like him.
