NOW IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO FIND CLARITY

Research tells us that if we want to understand how we feel about something, we go a step beyond just thinking about it or even talking about it. We write it down. We choose the deadline. We define the steps to get there. Through writing we are able to gain clarity. Our jumbled thoughts find their order on the page.

Two camps. What camp are you in?

There are two retirement camps. Which one do you fall into? It has been my experience that in Camp One you’ll find people who have been planning and looking forward to retirement since the day they started their first real job. As they have gotten closer to THE DAY, they’ve inserted a countdown as a screensaver on their work computer. And on the day they retire, they nearly dance out the door.

In Camp Two there are people who “do not go gentle into the good night.” They go out the door kicking and screaming, their fingers tightly gripping the door jamb of their office because retirement looms before them like an empty abyss.
