        I like that she keeps the responsibility for her happiness on herself; not others. It's not her kids' or grandkids' job to make her feel fulfilled. It's hers & she knows it. Fantastic!

        The fire in her spirit never gone. I hope I'll have that kind of spirit when I'm at her age.

        So I'm like the only person who can't wait to retire. Great.

        From the barcode at the top, it looks like a book from a library. If you MUST know, find a way to go through her book checkout list at @nypl.

        Idleness =/= Retirement Retirement can mean more time/money to do the hobbies/dreams one had suspended throughout the years s/he'd been busy raising a fam. Ofc we're talking abt a typical middle-class here

        Agreed. The common link between what she's describing and what you're describing is having a plan going into "retirement". A lot of retirees become disillusioned when the plan is a nebulous play/do nothing/ relax.
