The one thing about being off from work that I really love is being able to read my books.  It gives me great joy to read.  It is such a peaceful thing to do and really slows down life a bit.  I imagine in retirement there will be plenty of time to read.  But for now, I cherish every moment when I can open a book and take in every word.  One of the simple pleasures of life.
