Being all I can be

My dad is in his 50's. He said he wanted to retire earlier than his dad did because his dad had no time to enjoy his retirement before he died. My mom says she's done becasue she doesn't have a lot of time left either. Lately I've noticed that if I have two minutes to rub together, which is nearly never, I sleep or more recently work out. So here I am, only 30 and starting to think retirement sounds like a nice thing. But here's the problem. My folks, their lives are barely half over and they are really young with lots of things left to accomplish in the world. I wouldn't want to be finished at their age. By the same token, I am getting tired. Dad said to me last year, "You can't keep up this pace in life forever." That's when I started working out again, so I could keep this up longer. Except I think the point of retirement is to enjoy all you've accomplished. So I'm wondering, if I enjoy what I'm acomplishing now, while I'm doing it, could I enjoy it for a really long time, like the rest of my life and never retire? You know, like having the best of both things? And if I can do I/can I enjoy what I'm doing now while I am doing it? This is circular. I know, but it's what I'm thinking right now. Well, that and that I'm rubbing two minutes together and I so could use the sleep!

G'Night!
