Welcome to my Blog – the first footstep in the sand and a key question!

June 18th, 2010

My aim here is to “tiptoe” into retirement and ensure that I have a fantastic time with my family.

Fleshing out my aim a little more I guess I want to create a retiremfootsteps in the sandent life (and as a Christian guided spiritually) rather than just accept the one that life gives me.

How about you? – do you want to create the retirement you really want or just accept the one that life gives you?

As I tackle this question it would be great to share, on the way, and learn from others as well.

As I write this I intend to read some key books, talk to people, distil what I have learnt and put the relevant bits into play in my life.

I would love to have a laugh on the way share the blind alleys, smile over the impossible dreams and celebrate the journey.

Having looked around, it seems to me that nearly all of the retirement Blogs focus on finances – which is a vital part however just one part –  how am I going to spend my time plus a bit on will I be healthy enough? will be more my focus.

Thinking a bit more writing this blog will help me ensure that I really understand what I have been reading and gaining from others – explaining it helps.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the journey and letting them shape my path.
