2025: Why I Won't Retire

From Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Flow, as paraphrased by another author:

Individuals are happiest when they are fully immersed in activities that challenge them and align with their skills and values. Individuals experience joy, creativity, and total involvement when they achieve excellence in such activities.

Work update: I received in 2023 a proofreading job from a publisher's home office, whereas I usually hear from third-party production vendors. The press had plenty of freelancers to choose from, on a book that was destined to be noticed. It was.
