I can definitely relate. Miss my nursing career, but I enjoy the day, especially as you say when I settle down with a good book.

The energy you had and used through your education and your profession as a doctor caring for people for so many years and the graying hairs that came and retirement well deserved. Now in your elder years the drive doesn't stop but father time being so powerful will take over. Enjoy those knaps as they come,! they were earned

I love your post. In so many other countries the afternoon nap is imbedded in daily life. America grew out of the Industrial revolution and the twelve hour workday which had no use for mid-day naps (unless you were rich). Naptime is as essential to healthy living as night time sleep to allow the mind to assess and recalibrate for the hours that lie ahead. A power nap paves the way for a productive evening. Nap like it's 2024!

This column, Ed, personally, might be most instructive to me as I contemplate getting out of the race.

Thank you.
