Cosmic balance

Yesterday I learned that there is a cosmic balance to the retirement universe. I realized this when I was told that my good friend, Kim, who had retired several years ago, accepted a job a few weeks after I retired. I figure it is like my friend, Becky's, theory that there is only so much fat in the world, and if someone around you is losing weight, you must be gaining it.  So, I retired, and now Kim is back at work.  Now, of course Kim had been working independently since she retired, but that is not the same as working for someone else.  I imagine, too, that having a job after you are retired is not as weighty as having a job before you are retired.  It has to be much easier to quit if you just can't take the BS.  You might even be able to sail right over the BS with a grin.  But, I am a little concerned about this cosmic balance for the near future, as my friend Renee will be retiring in a few weeks.  In no way am I ready to go back to work!
