Retirement

 Retirement is not simply about existing with no purpose.  It is a season of our life.  Seasons have reasons and peculiar activities.  You are entering a new season and it is the time to discover what its purpose is for you.  It is not just about moving to change the outsides such as from cold winters to warmer winters.  Change the insides as well.  It is about a change in patterns of life, ways of doing things, and new things to do as well as old things that have been put aside.  And always a time to avoid isolation.  The “routine” can easily slip into that.
