Travelling in retirement is great, however, being at home is harder.

Facing a blank schedule, and finding things to fill in those blanks for some, can be the toughest part of retirement.

As we reach a certain age and start fretting about retirement, many of us forget about one of the best resources for retirement advice: the people we most trust.

“Any time you have a major life transition you should seek out counsel”.  Our blogs, we feel, should offer some possible suggestions towards finding challenging learning opportunities that are stretching but definitely achievable.

The transition to retirement isn’t always easy. There can be a loss of identity; financial woes; and the dreaded boredom. Such negatives get a lot of attention—leading many people to say they never plan to retire.

But there’s another side to this story, one that isn’t heard as often. And that is the one told by the many people who love retirement. These retirees speak of finally having a chance to learn who they are without a defined work week or being defined by a job title.

We propose doing BLOGs on all of our retirement interests to date and in doing so we hope in sharing these that we may encourage other retirees, like ourselves, to step outside your comfort zone and challenge themselves with these or similar learning opportunities……….!
