You very well may like it. I have, though of course my retirement on June 30, 2012, did not get the publicity of Mr. Roth's. For me, it meant no responsibility anymore for the care of psychiatric patients, but actually writing more, maybe ever a novel about the Old Testament Joseph, perhaps our first psychiatrist. I'll also continue to blog more, including for Psychiatric Times, where my blog was renamed to View From Retirement. My last blog on June 25 before retiring was called Mental Bootcamp: Today is the First Day of Your Retirement. It tries to emphasize that retirement should be planned for from early adulthood on, and revised as necessary. If interested in reading it outside of going to the blog site, contact me at [email protected]. The view so far from here is beautiful, and all can be seen more clearly without the interference of everyday work. Try it, Carl. You very well may like it.

Those of us who have been active participants in life never really "retire" in the classic sense - we merely run off in a different direction than before. I found my first retirement from the corporate world less scary and more freeing. It does, however, take some courage to jump off into that great abyss of the unknown future. But what a ride it has been. Having just retired for the third time, I see retirement as merely a deep breath before the next adventure – whatever that turns out to be.
