Ah, Retirement, the waking up each day and happily sighing that life is good and all is well.
Maybe for some.

WOW – you put to words what I have been feeling.I retired from teaching because I could not take the stress anymore. So, like Carol, I kind of ran away without having a clear cut plan for my future. I’m so grateful to know that other people are feeling this way and I look forward to hearing your podcasts about where to go from here! Thanks for doing this!
Just listened to your podcast talking about the first year of retirement. I am still working and will retire in a year or two. Your podcasts are giving me so much to think about and plan before I decide to retire. Thanks for all the good advice. I am passing all this on to friends who have retired or are thinking about it.
