Congrats! That's a nice spot to be in. I retired (mostly) at 59 but found a pretty good part-time gig for the next 9 years that was a big help financially, and kept me busy a few days a week. It made a big difference paying for my insurance which was ridiculously expensive till I hit 65. Take a look around, you might be able to find something for a few years that would bridge the gap till Medicare kicks in. Working at a job because you want to beats the hell out of working at a job because you have to.
