'retirement simply means stop doing things your not crazy about be cause you have to ... and start doing things you want to .... because you want to.'

This is true to a great extent. I'm happy being retired, because I had so many things saved-up that I wanted to 'play' with. And my family has needed me, and I've been glad that I've had more time to give to them.

There's definitely an adjustment, and a little bit of 'neither-here-nor-thereness' at first; but it's great - unless you're someone who lived to work and didn't know yourself except for your 'work identity'.
