I will share with you the ups and down’s the ins and outs of retirement. My goal for my retirement is to stay relevant, to feel refreshed, and to live the life I want by creating my life day by day on my own terms. I will share some of my self-reflections, some AHA! moments, some funny stories, some serious. There is no topic off limits from food, to travel, to health, and even exercise!
A LITTLE ABOUT ME
I worked for 20+ years as an optician at a prominent college of Optometry. I loved my job, it was a complicated yet satisfying blend of patient care and providing education to future doctors of Optometry. I also taught Continuing Education classes for opticians. When it came time to think about retirement I found it necessary for me to stay relevant and active and to keep learning new ways of doing and thinking. No way was I ready to fade into the sunset! It was a time to focus on me!
I am looking forward to getting to know my readers and also learning from my readers. This will be a warm and welcoming community for us to share with one another and to learn from one another.
