I am looking at the perils of retirement. Retirement will not be the end of the road. The road now leads to a new beginning. A beginning of a rebirth of some kind. Some kind of a new version of myself. For myself, I have a tendency to rush to finish tasks. My tasks now can focus on other areas of my life. Life is giving me a chance not to be anxious about anything. Anything and everything I wake up to will be a present. A present from the Lord, because he hears my prayers. Prayers give me peace that safeguards my heart. My heart and mind belong to Christ Jesus. Edward J Ebbs - 03/09/2025 Based on Philippians 4:4-7

Wonderful poem. The last two lines are great. Retirement is definitely different but you will sort things out and make it work because you rely on God. From experience
