Well said, Sir.

2019-11-09 22:05:27 +0000 UTCBrian, I know well the people in my industry, men and women, who echo the exact sentiment and perception of retirement as a possible black hole, it's all around me every day. Just for the sake of balance, I'm 4 months from my SS age and 11 months from clocking out, and with no fanfare or party. Not because I don't like the people or the work, rather because I've never ID'd myself by my work, but by my family who endured difficult decisions early on that turned out to be the long plays that exceeded our hopes. So soon, I'm going to a new phase in life I've been preparing for quite a while now. And where I'm going is where my better half started her life. I've long known exactly where we were going to end up and TJC has filled in a lot of the spaces, little insights and community issues, etc. Brian, you sound like a logical and straightforward guy....I don't think you're going to be able to stop yourself from using those skills you've been packing all this time to make things work for you in the future....

Consider volunteering for Crime Stoppers or maybe being a mentor for young men. So many do not have fathers these days and that is a big problem with our youth. They feel lost and don't have direction.

To a degree, I can empathize with the gentleman you mentioned. As you know, in the west there are plenty of men who retire and then end their lives, or die of a heart attack from the stress. Consider: Here we STILL generally define ourselves by our jobs. One day you're a "somebody", particularly those in a uniform of some sort -police, fire fighter, soldier, or anyone who serves the public, and whose uniform earns respect- or else you're the VP in charge of X for the entire west coast, or something of that nature, and everyone calls you "Sir". After years of service, experience, and status, you retire. You have your party on a Friday night, enjoy the weekend to ruminate over your career, and then you wake up on Monday, and it's GONE. It's over. Now you're invisible. You have no authority, and no responsibility. Nobody needs you at the office. You no longer have a badge to open doors. You're just one of millions. That proves to be too difficult for some. The prospect of ending my career is daunting. I frankly don't look forward to it. I guess I can understand where this gentleman was coming from. In hearing the manner in which you addressed this issue, I feel happy for your kids. Clearly, this is an issue in the front of your mind, and the manner in which you raise your children will reflect this. I know you're showing them the way to good health. Sounds like they're in proper hands.
