44 and plans

Sooner or later I’m going to die, but I’m not going to retire.
Margaret Mead

The closer I get to “retirement,” the more I really understand why it was so hard for my father.  He had his first heart attack in his 40s, and although he didn’t have many more – remarkably given that he didn’t change his life habits much – he did die by 64.  He did begin to have bad health, and his work asked him to retire early a couple of years before his death.  He had a teenager he was raising with his sister, and a love of ham radios, but didn’t really pick up any other hobbies.  The slow life was very hard for him.

I have so many hobbies and interests that I fear my retirement will be busier than my work life!
