Loving all the air conditioning that came with retirement
I’m not sure that my wife was prepared to see me flourish the way I have when I retired.
That’s because my work really was my passion.
I was a principle in starting the company that I left just more that a year ago. Like my wife, I wasn’t so sure that I would be all that built for retirement. She used to actually call me to tell me to leave the zone controlled HVAC of the office to come home. I was so into my career that I just would get completely lost when it came to time. But there comes a time in every person’s career when it’s time to hang it up. I turned over my office in that perfect air conditioning over to someone who I personally groomed to take over for me. So that was something that made me feel better about leaving. But once we moved to the south and got settled, it was like I was reborn. My wife and I have done more together in the past year than we have in a long time. The passion for my job has now shifted to my life and making the most of the remaining years. We are having a blast and quickly got used to all the air conditioning down here. It’s really just a part of life in this region due to all the heat and humidity. The condo we live in has brand new HVAC equipment which does an amazing job of HVAC cooling. We can be out all day and be assured of coming home to plenty of HVAC cooling in the evening. I think this retirement thing is going to work out.
