Stay Happy and Healthy in Retirement-Discover Your Purpose
Hi Folks,
Having a purpose in life is essential for a happy, healthy retirement!!! No questions, no arguments, no debate. It is just a simple, irrefutable fact.
But a sad fact is that many people live their entire lives and never discover the importance of having a purpose or never finding one. Of course, as Carol Barrett points out in her article below, many of us were given a purpose when we were young whether we knew it or not, whether we liked it or not, or whether we fulfilled it or not.

How to Avoid a Failed Retirement
Hi Folks,
In our younger years we knew that if we failed in our career or business choices we had the time to bounce back and start over. And many of us did - we picked ourselves up, dusted ourselves off and started all over again. But now that we are in our senior years – we simply don’t have the time and stamina to recognize our mistakes and make a new start . . . well, at least not a completely new start.
Sort of scary, isn’t it? And a bit sad. A failed retirement is not an option!

Retirement – When Every Day’s A Weekend
Hi Folks,
As I have mentioned before in these pages I spend a great deal of time researching information about seniors and retirement and I also spend time observing retired folks – their actions and activities. Lately I have become increasingly more concerned with what I am seeing in the retirement community. This is probably nothing new, mind you, just a new awareness on my part.
I am seeing retirees age way beyond their years in just a few months. And for no obvious reason.

SENIOR LIVING: An Extraordinary Retirement
Hi Folks,
Today’s article is directed primarily at pre retirees, encouraging them to prepare for an extraordinary retirement. But this message is just as important (and maybe more so) for seniors that have already retired.
So many of us enter retirement having no idea how we are going to use our time. I can tell you that the retirees I know who are involved in useful, worthwhile pursuits are a far happier lot than the ones that generally just twiddle their time away.

Getting The Most Out Of Your Retirement
Hi Folks,
Now that you have retired what are you going to do with the rest of your life?
I am a member of the group that believes that everyone has a purpose in life and that our purpose doesn’t end when we retire. In fact our retirement may be the time when our purpose really kicks in.
Is it time to examine your retirement life and your purpose in life. It may be time to start work on your legacy.

Hi Folks,
If you read both of my retirement blogs you will recognize the following article. I published it on March 13th on Woody’s Retirement Blog, but as it is such an insightful little article I felt I should post it on this blog for those who do not read Woody’s Retirement Blog.

Hi Folks,
I have a new author for you today, Susan Hollis. Although Susan is primarily directing this article to baby boomers, those of us that are older and those that are younger (young whippersnappers!) can profit from her advice.
I look forward to sharing with you future articles by Susan.
