Freedom is an interesting animal. After so many years working, it takes a little getting used to.

Same here, particularly as a Northerner living in FL in the winter - every day is a sunny summer vacation day for sure. I felt sort of guilty about not working for the first several months of retirement, but eventually got over that
Having the option to do nothing is one of the best things. In my former, younger life this was called procrastination. There's was ALWAYS something to do - work, kids, home maintenance, car/toy maintenance, etc. I've divested myself of all those pesky annoyances so sometimes I wake up and do absolutely nothing all day without a hint of guilt.
And as mentioned by several, I just don't really care what anybody does or thinks. Example, I was stuck in a 10-mile back up on the Interstate last year due to an accident. As I was sitting at a standstill for well over an hour, it dawned on me that I had no reason to care. Where the hell am I going? I could sit here all night and it wouldn't disrupt my life in any way. Try that when you're younger and on a planned 2-week vacation.
