I did have that problem of "Not having a purpose" for a while after retirement. Then the light dawned over Marblehead and I realized that being retired, I don't need or want a purpose. If I had a purpose I would then feel compelled to expend a lot of energy meeting and achieving that purpose. And dangnabit, I already did that, and earned the right to achieve as little as possible!
I'm succeeding.
