Since taking early retirement in 2007, 2008 and 2009 seemed to go by at a leisurely pace. I've been enjoying the transition, spending more time with family and exploring different opportunities for a retirement career. However, 2010 seems to be going by much faster. Even though it's only mid January, I already feel like I need to get ready for spring. Here's why I think time is suddenly speeding up for me:
The feeling of time passing faster is causing a sense of urgency. There is so much I'd still like to do. Although early retirement created a lot more available time initially, I now realize that my time is still limited and I need to put more focus on the what I want to get done.

I agree that retirement can be a very rewarding time of life. Spending part of it in a seasonal or part time job can be equally rewarding, if one loves the work they are doing and feel that they are contributing. Working for pay or for satisfaction as a volunteer, mentor, tutor are all ways to contribute and make the most of your retirement, whether you started at age 50 or age 65.
