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.
No more alarm clock and no more calendar.

Yes! Love it. We still set our alarm clock for 5:00 a.m. Do you know what is really fun? Ignoring it! Blessings to you, Carl…

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!

I have to admit that this is truly one of the highlights of retirement. We get up when it rings if we want to, but we don’t have to. Blessings to you, Patti…
