I pulled the trigger in March. After helping a popular motorcycle company get a plant set up in Asia, I decided to make the call and ER. We flew home from our part of the plant setup in January and I began winding things down. I turned 53 yesterday. I had always been planning on 55 being the ER point, so I am a bit early.
5 months in and things are good. Here's some highlights.
So far, it is very good, but different than what I had pictured before I started.

5 months in and things are good. Here's some highlights.
- Health care is stupid expensive.
- Some days more relaxed, some days stressed. Need to worry less. Getting there....
- Exercising more. Feeling physically great.
- More present in the moment. Not just racing to the next thing. Meditating. Just noticing more. Finding beauty in areas unnoticed before.
- Learning and trying new things.
- Can only blame myself if I had a bad day--double edged sword! I have total control. Freedom is a very different feeling.
- Having Fun.
