Shifting Gears - 1

Ever wonder what it would be like to retire? Or were you too busy living in the moment? Raising kids, working, finishing school, reinventing yourself?  I'm finding out in real time what it's like since retiring at the end of 2023.  And if you think you hear gears grinding, that'd be me. Grinding gears rather than a smooth shift is - literally or metaphorically - jarring, and I find the transition to retirement is just like that. It's like moving to a slower pace but still feeling the friction of the gerbil wheel and the uncertainty of when it will stop never mind where I'll land. Going 90 to nothin'? You definitely feel it. Anyone out there feeling the same?
