The calm before the storm
Hey, are you retired or you are thinking of retiring? 10,000 Boomers a day are still moving into retirement. Retirement could be part-time or it could be full time. However, you decide to take your retirement remember it’s OK. Everything is fine. Maybe you feel lost as you have worked in a career where you have always been guided or you when you worked you had a plan and you followed this plan. In planning for retirement, many of us planned for our financial security, but we failed to plan for our social, physical, physiological or spiritual life. If we have not done this we may feel afraid.
We know that friends and family are watching us, and we may be unsure as to what they will think of our decisions. What you have to remember is that you are still adored. You've made great stuff happen when you were younger, and you will make more great stuff happen again in retirement. You've changed lives. You've changed your own. You've moved mountains and done the impossible. You've been scared and you overcame. You've been knocked down and you rose back up. And you've been lost, or so you thought, only to discover it was just the calm before another storm of creativity, love, and fun. The decision to retire is the calm before the storm, enjoy as another storm of creativity, love, and fun descends on you.

I tended to agree, but many of my friends are worried about leaving work behind and I have been to retirement seminars where the message is that once you make the decision to retire, you cannot change your mind. This message is of course not true, but many believe this and are nervous about taking this step. I agree with the idea just do it, but for some the unknown of retirement is scary. Boomers are changing what it means to be retired. We are living longer, healthier and having more fun in retirement than the previous generations
