I'm reaching a point where "retired" doesn't sound so bad after all. It's been a journey, but I'm almost ready to fully welcome it. 💪 #NewChapter

@bryanruby Just keep busy. If you don't have hobbies, get some. Stay active, keep moving.

I will never fully retire. I need the motivation of selling goods and services that other people want.

@mlanger Thanks for the advice. I definitely have plenty of hobbies and interests to keep me busy. Over the years, I also always had some "side hustles" next to the day job that I always thought I would eventually make into another career. I'm starting to realize, I don't want any of those interests to evolve into full time work. I want, need, and desire a lot more play time these days.
@bryanruby My whole life has been a side hustle. Some more lucrative than others. I like the ability to switch between the things that fit me best. I was sad to turn off silversmithing for a while, but I think this boat thing is going to be a lot better.🤞🏻
