I've had bosses that became like family and I had a couple of bosses, from hell!

Some people really enjoy their careers and want/need to work. There are people who haven't enjoyed going to work and retirement looked like a great option.

After your retired for awhile, you will realized that you are more relaxed and want to have a continuous enjoyment of doing, "what you want , when you want and with whom you may want". You may even wonder how you have had the time to work, as they are so many enjoyable things to do here in TV.

Like all things, one most focus on good thoughts and put the thoughts of stress behind them, as you will no longer be controlled by someone else's demands/wishes.

People at work who showed they really cared about you will stay in touch and those who really don't care about you, won't. I found it amusing how some people I worked with thought some of the people they were close to, would stay in touch and they didn't. In one instance, I was amazed, a good friend of mine, (coworker),was so disappointed, his so called best buddy at work, dropped the friendship, like a rock, (my boss from hell).

Retirement is great and very relaxing. IMHO

BTW - I don't miss anything about work!!! One must move on to more enjoyable pursuits and let go of the stress, of working!
