For most of my life, I lived to work.50, 60, 70 hours per week or more, and usually those jobs required a minimum of 3 hours daily commute. It took my wife 26 years to finally get me to take a vacation...that almost cost me a divorce...Then, a few years later, I got hurt at work, (still working 60 hours/week and 3-1/2 to 4-1/2 hour daily commutes)
Yesterday made 4 years since I last worked. Not out of choice, but I can no longer do the kind of work I did for 30+ years. (and very little of any other kind)
I'm attending school for the first time since 1970...and having a ball!
We now vacation whenever we can...even if it's only a 3 day weekend somewhere.
