That's a good idea, AZ....you might have to spread your wings and get
some experience in a completely different line of work. My husband
was a prison guard then a ****pyard worker for 25 years before he
retired at the age of 49. He's now working in a group home for the
mentally handicapped and enjoys it. I hope you find something that
you can enjoy, too!
