I have just recently retired.  I worked my whole life as a school teacher in the same school.  I am looking for ideas of things to do now in my retirement years. 
Nice to meet you. I'm sure it will be great to spend some time with your family. A families support is all we need at times.
Lovely to meet you too and very true.  I have my children and grand children living close by and there is nothing better than spending time with them.  I need to find more hobbies for myself though too.  I have started a walking group and a painting class.  I am thoroughly enjoying my retirement.

I commend people in the medical field.  It is such a tough job but where would we all be with you.  It can be very long unsocial hours though so semi retiring would be a lovely way of doing it.  Away in the future for you of course!
