Retirement

There has been some discussion within my family about retirement as of late. This comes to mind as my father is a few years away from retirement age.... Myself, I don't know what I would do when I came to the age of having the choice of "to work or not to work". These days work is such a big part of life. What is on my mind today is, should I let my job define me? I think that people sometimes forget there is more to life than your job. What of your interests? I think that in the busy-ness of day to day life we need to make a point of evaluating what makes us happy. We need to feed our spirit to remain healthy both physically and mentally. Taking a step back and doing this is important, so as not to lose sight of who we are. Who are we are to ourselves, our family and friends. So my family and friends, I would like to encourage you to take a step back, breath in deep, and evaluate.
