54 years of working has changed my attitude to working

My time off gives me more pleasure than I was aware

I think I would rather be at home than anywhere 

Walking the dog or pottering in the garden without care

Cycling into town for lunch is not unusual or rare

Thirty years of working in care is probably enough

I think I need to start thinking about my own self-care

It’s just a case of knowing when enough is enough

There are a lot of things to consider such as money

What would I do with all of the time I would have at my disposal?

Would I be able to adjust to a life without work?

Would I find a new routine and what would it look like?

Stepping into the unknown is almost always a cause for concern

Retirement is probably inevitable at some time

I just don’t know when will be the right time for me

I think I will have to capitulate and give it more thought
