Output (English): At the age of 63, i can honestly say that i'm as happy as i've ever been. I retired from full time employment at the end march; my sources of income now are my pension , my social security, and my m-turk work. i am living a life now that i have never lived before. i compare my situation, although not totally comparable, but to a prisoner who gets out of jail. for forty years i worked at jobs that i didn't enjoy and/or were low paying, i was doing work that was too difficult for me; was unstable, etc. so when i retired, it was like starting a new life. i thought i'd like my "new life," but the fact is i love it; things are too good to be true. not only don't i have to work anymore, but i get to spend four full days a week with my wonderful 2 year old granddaughter, Kinsley. this is because my wife runs a small day care center right here in our house so Kinsley spends eight full hours here four days a week. I can not express in words how much i love Kinsley. I have one daughter but when she was young i was very distracted with a few problems that involved my job as well as some personal issues. i didn't spend nearly as much time with my daughter as i wish i had when she was very young. Spending all this time with my granddaughter, therefore, is a whole new experience. watching her grow; being amazed as she does new things almost every day...amazing. every grandparent brags about how smart their grandchildren are so i'll do the same...Kinsley is so intelligent that it almost scares me. and she is so happy! and no wonder with loving relatives around her all the time. besides all this, as a person who had suffered from insomnia for many years, the fact that i can now sleep when i want, with no pressure of alarm clocks or whether i got adequate sleep, it is amazing that i have no more of those pressures. i hardly even need an alarm clock. i don't have to worry about whether a job can provide coverage if i want to call in sick. i don't have to worry about driving in bad weather as i had to so often in the winter here in central new york state where we sometimes get pounded with snow storms. i also love listening to my CDs and i recently became a frank sinatra fan; better late than never. and i enjoy the company of my wonderful, supportive wife. so all in all, things are great. i paid 40 years worth of dues and i earned my freedom.
