Does this picture give you the feeling that life could be delightful in retirement? They look healthy and happy. They seem to have some skills in using gaming devices. A plus in today’s world. Looking closer you must ask, where is all their stuff? Nothing to dust! No pictures or family photos. No clutter. Nothing on the floor to trip on! When you are thinking about prancing out of the “rat race” this picture is made to order.  

Last year my husband and I made the decision to join “retirement” life. Yes, I looked forward to this time in my life. I had no clear picture of what that would look like. Sadly, I still do not. Working, in the medical field, for over thirty years, I was played out and ready to prance out! I had clearly painted this picture in my head.

Learning how to retire with grace.
