Hair may turn gray and get thin, but life has just begun... Retirement.

Hair may turn gray and get thin, but life has just begun… Retirement.

Retirement has been delightful. I recommend it to anyone that wants quality time to do fewer but more desirable things, even if it means less money to spend. I thank God for my experiences since an unexpected but much appreciated retirement. No I wasn’t fired. I quit. I had to quit. My first year of retirement was the busiest year of my life, never to be duplicated or forgotten, and forever to be cherished. Someday I may tell about it, but for now, it is a memory I will keep to myself.

I’ve shared many phases of my life before and after retirement, including years of caring for my late husband who passed away away in 2012 from Alzheimer’s. Life and loss travel together, and after loss, life goes on. I’ve been blessed and I’m grateful.

    • When my co-workers talked about retirement, I’d say I could never retire and I’d have to die in the saddle. How wrong I was! I retired before they did, unexpectedly. The impossible became inevitable. Blessings to you…

    I work part-time now and love it. Working about 15 hours a week is just right for me.

    I’m not opposed to retirement, but I’m afraid I have another 25 years before it’s an option!
