Semi-retirement: Is it for you?

So...I haven't posted in awhile.  It isn't that I'm ignoring issues that relate to retirement.  Quite the contrary, I spend a lot of time reading, and thinking and pondering the issues.  What I'm finding is that since I began splitting my time between working and leisure, I seem to have lost some of my "edge".  By this I mean that the more leisure time I have, the harder it is to move back into work mode. 

Don't get me wrong.  Once I'm in work mode, I really get into it.  I think that issues around retirement and aging are fascinating and when I'm working, I quite enjoy myself.  But be forewarned if you are thinking of moving from full time work to semi-retirement, you may enjoy it, but you may find that you lose your "edge" too.

Maybe my next post will be about whether "losing one's edge" is a bad thing or perhaps a good thing.
