Whatever you do may seem insignificant,
but it is most important that you do it.

-- M. Gandhi
The man who in view of gain thinks of righteousness; who in the view of danger is prepared to give up his life; and who does not forget an old agreement however far back it extends - such a man may be reckoned a complete man.
~ Confucius, The Confucian Analects

Welcome to the crowd. Being one of us may not be as bad as you fear. Assuming that you'll know how to select the good advice from this thread and reject the junk that sometimes appears here, you'll be a welcome addition to us "oldies" and make us proud to have you in our ranks.

I agree -- now I have time to do all those things on my wife's "honey-do list", and we have a lot more time to do things together that we didn't have before I retired.
