I had an endless stream of consulting offers in the first year after I retired. I turned every one of them down. It's calmed down now, maybe because the word got out in the small circle that would be looking for a guy like me. I'm glad I stuck it out. It took longer than I thought it would to really settle into retirement. If I had accepted any of those offers, I would still not be settled into it. Give it some more time - you're still just a little bit "itchy", maybe feeling a bit guilty, maybe a bit of doubt. Hang tough. You'll get past all of that. When you do, you will be glad you did.
