Why is retirement so difficult?

Posted in Current, Journey

I find myself watching too much TV, but lack the energy many days to do more. It seems pointless and can be boring itself. Finding meaning is difficult to do now, as I’m not working — something which really lent some urgency to life as well as meaning.

I have hobbies, but find I rarely have the energy for them. I suppose this is mostly due to depression, but I’m not sure how to get past it.

I’m finding Parkinson’s very tough. So many joys have passed with it. I can’t play guitar, I can barely play piano. I feel clumsy much of the time. I feel like I’m just marking time.

Travel seems impossible, although I can see going back to NYC to see my relations.

  1. It’s not that we fall down, but that we get up again. Start small and build from there. You have to write hello world before you did the recursive binary tree insertion function.
