"tomorrow isn't promised" - galenkp
Because of this truth, because we never know which morning we won't see (I often like to say that as soon as I woke up, I already got a lot for the upcoming day, the rest is up to me), I try and try to, even in part of my working life, I will do something that I have on my list for the days of my retirement.
Weekend house and work in the garden, cruise on a cruise ship, buying the car I wanted, car tour of the region where I live...
I don't want to wait for the end of my working life to start living.
Now I work to live as best and as fulfilling as I can. I don't live to work, nor will I ever.
