Up until today, when asked "How does your retirement feel?", I have answered, "Like a permanent weekend" or "Like being on vadation."

In other words, I was still defining my retired life in relation to a job. But the job didn't exist.

So it felt less real.

Today, I was active. Today I did things that I imagine I will do every day going forward, and a couple of things that will enable things I intend to do, going forward.

I did some housework. I took my new jazz guitar for a professional setup. I did some grocery shopping. I started packing for my vacation.

Wait a minute. Can I have vacations in retirement? Not really, I think. So let's make that: I did some preliminary packing for a trip I am taking to visit Marco and Sophie in Florida Wednesday.

And I did what I did without feeling rushed.

I think I may be getting some rhythm back in my life.
