My husband made a fantastic “adjustment” from senior partner of a large law firm to a vital community volunteer. First he had to physically rebuild our “hippie” house in the country. Then he went on the board of a Land Trust and Library board. He also physically took care of our 4 acres of land. Time off spent caring for me after I had a liver transplant. We continued to travel and stay quite active. Now we have returned to our urban roots and volunteer and usher at theater and musical events. It has been 30 years since he “retired” and I think his life has been enriched by the variety life has offered.

I hear friends saying their husbands are a pain after retirement. Your husband could run a course for them on successful retirement! Thanks for sharing.
