Hi Crook, I had to involuntarily ‘retire’ when diagnosed and went on disability. That said, I eventually returned to painting, which I had majored in in college. I joined the local art association, volunteered, and served a few years on the board of directors. Now I have a studio in a building full of artists and still a member of the art association. So, I returned to an activity I loved, found a community, and gave back by volunteering. I highly recommend this manner of retiring - an activity you love and a community you can be part of.
