Den,

In my case at least, that's fairly strenous exercise.

One of my friends dad told me that he was 80 years old and and never did get everything done that he wanted to and was sure as hell not going to start now. 
 I always tell people that chide me about some ,well many projects I have not finished yet , If I die tomarrow look at all the work I will not have to do .
Just enjoy  life .  Don't  put up with the cumudgons that only want to make life unhappy for you .    There are people that enjoy making other people miserable , avoid them .  Help the people that want to make life enjoyable.

Thanks to this thread I got to see my son and grandson last night.

I was out using the ripper planning on being finished well after midnight when I got an email from my son Joel. He was going to stop by with his 18 month old son to pick up some supplies I have stored for them in our office here around 6pm. Patty called me shortly after 6 and said we had visitors at the house. Instead of explaining that I had to have this finished before the rains showed up I threw it into high gear and headed for the house. Had a nice visit with Joel and Cael and a late supper with Patty.

That field isn't going anywhere.

Time is the coin of your life.
It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it is spent.
Be carelful less you let other people spend it for you.

I kept this taped to the wall in my office for many years.  When the opportunity came to retire early I jumped on it. 
I work harder now than I ever have, but I work on the things I want to work on.  When I am with friends and family it is always quality time because I want to be there.  Much different from I have to be there.

Another quote:  I am the one that has to die when it is time for me to die. So let me live my life the way I want to.

If you are not happy, no one can make you happy.  It is up to you!

ON my job people often ask me to do things for them in my "spare time". I tell them I have only three kinds of time; regular time, over time, and quality time, which one do you want to pay for?

Family time has always been my favorite quality time, especially now with grand children.

I ran out of work with my brother 2 years ago and haven't worked much since . It has been great . I do the house chores and make sure our 10 year old gets to where he thinks he needs to be .the stress level has gone way down . My brother lives to work, I always worked to live . His 2 kids (18 & 19 ) are both in college and he only went on 1 family vacation with them . He has always been too busy working .
