My mother, who turned 75 in March retired years ago, but still works as a receptionist for a rehabilitation hospital four days a week. She says is is what keeps her young, vibrant, in good health, alert, and busy. Most of her friends went cold turkey from their job, and are either dead or in poor health. She swears keeping viable helps her health. She will stay till they kick her out probably.
