“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair” Charles Dickens could have been reflecting on retirement.
I have been retired for more than ten years now, figure I would reflect on it, and maybe help you move into the light.
