    Milestones are like mountain peaks - they give us a sense of where we are. We locate ourselves in relationship to them.

Retirement has to be one of the more significant milestones we can experience in life.

    Retirement has its moments of isolation and then again it provides us time to reestablish contact with moments and people from our past. There is something about reaching into the past and touching one another that makes retirement so sweet.

    966 Recognition

    People used to work until they died and for the most part live in an extended family structure where some recognition was assured. Today's retired people face a true challenge in this life quest. We must create a means of being recognized.
