<t>Pat<br/> I can relate to just what your saying. I was not ready to retire at 59 but I had no choice.<br/> <br/> I think I pushed it and did more damage to my self by not paying attention to the message my body was sending.

That word I was sure did not apply to me… I considered myself (in my mind) almost handicapped but not quite, oh well it m...

Glad you all had so much fun.
