I could have highlighted the whole of this piece. I think I slept 12 hours a day for the first month I was retired! Now I have no idea how I ever found the time to work. One other surprise about retirement - it's a lot easier to take care of one's self when one's self is the only person one has to care for. I was a nurse for over 26 years & I've been a mother for over 40 - setting down that role & putting your name at the top of your list can be a challenge.

Great piece. You'll find it out on the Crow's Feet twitter account over the weekend.
