New Way of Thinking

I need a new way of thinking. I always thought that all I needed was the time to work in my craft, or art, or whatever. And, with my upcoming retirement, I will have the time. But, to make this work, I have to change the way I think about my craft and my plan to explore new options; that these are worthy pursuits and as legitimate as my old job. It's simply that my future looks too good to be true. I know -- such a problem. But there it is.
