我的退休生活 The Joy of Retirement

First, I filed retirement papers and made it official. In one case, I was retired in 15 minutes thanks to my paperwork organizational skills. I hyperventilated for 30 minutes with shock. The other situation took 45 minutes; thank goodness, I had time to breathe. Second, I took stock of a guaranteed income for life finding I could at least pay bills and buy groceries. 首先，我提交了报告，正式申请退休。有一次，我只花了15分钟就真正退休了多亏了我的文书组织能力。接下来的30分钟我因为震惊不已而不断喘着粗气。还有一次花了我45分钟;谢天谢地，我终于可以喘一口气了。接下来，我估量了自己固定的生活保障收入，发现我至少能支付各种账单和购买日用品。

By month four I knew that I was bored, didnt have enough hobbies, and so far hated retirement. And I was even more alone, lonely, and isolated. Id taken a few trips, some alone, others with family, even tried a casual relationship. Nothing was working so far. 到第四个月，我知道自己开始感到厌烦了，我没有足够的兴趣爱好，到当时为止依然讨厌退休。我觉得更加孤单、寂寞和离群索居。我外出旅行过几次，有时独身一人前往，有时跟家人一起去，甚至还尝试随便拍拍拖。然而，一切都没啥效果。

So, I sat down and listed the positives and negatives of my life and found I had far more positives than negatives. An old friend told me years ago during a time of decline in my life to hitch up my girdle and stop feeling sorry for myself. Good idea! 于是，我坐下来，列出生活中的积极面和消极面，发现积极面远超过消极面。多年前当我处于一次人生低潮期时，一位老朋友曾劝诫我抬头挺胸，别再怨天尤人。好主意!
