Something I just realized about retirement is that I've noticed that now I savor certain tasks. And I know that's kind of a weird word to use, but it's the word that comes to mind. And for example, I was changing the oil on my truck the other day, and I realized I was like intentionally going slowly. I would, you know, I took the dust cover off and I cleaned it really well and inspected for any leaks and saw that a clip was loose and one of the threads weren't great in. So I went and got new clips. And I thought, what am I doing here? Why am I trying to drag this process out? It's because I was savoring the process. And I realized I never could do that when I was working. It was always just get it done. And that's why I often took my vehicles in to get the oil changed, because there is no way I could ever possibly enjoy the process of an oil change while I was working. But now, like, I couldn't imagine having someone else do it. Just because I enjoy it too much. And this is the crazy thing about retirement. It completely flips your perspective on things that you used to think were laborious and things that you used to enjoy. For example, I've done videos on this before. I don't really like going fishing anymore because fishing was my escape. I don't need an escape now. So in retirement, I love changing my oil. Don't really like fishing. It's crazy, I know.
