My current Retirement Lifestyle vision statement (below) is really defining the activities in which I engage. See link here on my review of how my vision statement was refined through my retirement transition to this current statement:

Active, Connected, Creative, Contemplative.

These 4 vision areas and my Putting Positive Psychology into Practice Tenets really define my daily, weekly, and monthly lifestyle!

I Do The Job I Want To Do (And I do it the way I want to)

That is the most blessed thing about retirement. I no longer consider myself bound to take every job offered or respond to every assignment.

In the day of my dreams I will be retired

Keywords: cabininthewoods , Dayofmydreams , isolation journals, Journal writing , Reflections

I want to retire. I am ready now to retire, but not sure how to go about it. Maybe one more year of teaching and occasional performances, and then I’ll decide on a new adventure. Gradual retirement will not work for me — too many exciting opportunities are available, and I can’t see to let them go by without accepting the challenge. I have tried to semi-retire, but within a few months my schedule was full again.
