Great article today. I feel like you were talking about me. I have been retired now for a bit more than 4 months and for good reason ( some planed travel, a vacation house that we use in the summer) have had some difficulty finding a routine that works for me. It’s getting better and during this past week alone I have participated in two ‘one shot’ volunteer experiences with organizations I am affiliated with. I have more plans for regular volunteering with one agency when we return to a more regular schedule. Thanks for all you do and say.

You have identified the unexpected blessing of being a basically contemplative person. I didn't have the same "falling off a cliff" experience when I stopped working that people seem to suffer when they've been totally wrapped up in their careers. All my life, I thought I was supposed to be more work-oriented. Now I appreciate my advantages.
