Our life does not stop when we retire early in our 50's. But, it is most difficult to try and figure out which direction to take once we are not longer committed to that 9-5 daily process. What does life hold for us; who knows since we have spent our time managing family, career, relationships. Our names are on an envelope titled: Solid Citizen, Nurturing Parent, Dependable Employee, and Trusted Companion. It is time to open that envelope, spread out the contents of our life, as it has been defined so far, and look to the future as the clock ticks by.
So, being free from some responsibility where do we go from here? What adventures await us; if we only can find them and then take advantage of them. What new interests can we pursue now that time allows. How do we balance following the path to a new life while maintaining a connection with our past. What skills do we have in that envelope that will help us become a more interesting, adventuresome, challenged individual, thereby, giving us a "new lease on life" or what I would rather call it: Creating a Renaissance (revival) of Self.
So, I begin a Blog to not only share my experiences with others, but, find an outlet to express my adventures, ideas, and outcome (whether good or bad).
