    874 Continue Dreaming

    Maybe retirement is the time to become a magician. Or whatever else you dreamed of when you were a child. Or whatever you dream about now that you are retired. I'll bet with just a few years of practice most of us could learn to pull rabbits out of hats.

    873 Pick A Fight

    "Picking a Fight" is not something our parents told us was a good thing to do. Perhaps we need to rethink this advice. Retirement might be the perfect time to look around and pick a fight with some bully.

    872 Vacations

    A good thing about vacations is that it shines a new light on the life we now live and the life we may want to lead. We can lay out plans, read travel logs, browse book stores and magazine racks, and have something to dream about when we take our afternoon nap.

    870 When Should I Retire

Perfectly summed up 2020

I have always enjoyed Del’s philosophy on life, but today’s podcast especially- a perfect summary of the past year and, as always, an optimistic note- wishing you a healthy, happy 2021 with lots of coffee shop visits! ☕️☕️

Retirement Talk

I find it easy to relate to the podcast. It appears the concerns of retiree are universal. There are uncountable aspects of retirement life with further numerous choices to be made. It is a clear message for us to examine our lives in search of purpose and meaning.
