I struggle with days off. I can't ever imagine being fully retired and doing nothing. But my circumstances are different too. 57 with a 7yo means I won't get the same circumstances.

I think if I were empty nest and fully retired, I'd struggle. Over my life I've got more satisfaction out of helping others than myself. Meaning I'd take and finish a project for anyone else than for myself. I struggle to do things for myself.

I need to be needed I think. I recognize it. I know it's not normal. But without work of some king I feel listless. It sucks but it is what it is. I think I'd volunteer work to prevent that from happening.

Character is not developed in moments of temptation and trial. That is when it is intended to be used.
