The saying "Curb Your Enthusiasm" comes to mind when discussing the process of Retirement. I feel that the transition from active engagement in Service or Commercial interactions to a self-directed daily routine requires:- Patience…Accepting the aging process is a difficult and challenging process. We all wish to think that we are “39” (old enough to know better..young enough to have the energy to do something about it)
- Retirement means stepping off the 747 and onto a horse and buggy. It means reduced stress, but it also means taking on the responsibility of Self Direction.
- Readjustments.. Resetting domestic responsibilities, acknowledging new boundaries, and sharing deeper feelings, all take physical and emotional effort.
- New (and hopefully improved) Communication. Old habits and shortcut understandings may need revision and/or improvement.
So these are a few of my thoughts on Retirement. Do you have your own?
