As I enter into the life style of a recently retired person I can't help but be impacted by the many changes in my life. When I was younger I was very naïve and thought I would recognize myself as the old person I had become.

 

Instead today my inner person sees myself as I did when I was younger and still has all the same ambitions and dreams but my body doesn't always agree and would rather take a nape. Those things that came easy to me are now a little harder and my thought process is not as sharp as it was ten years ago.

 

I ended my working career as the Department Head for the Polk County, MN. Facilities Management Department and was responsible for the care of Polk County's buildings along with remodeling and new construction projects.

I began my career with Polk County on July 1, 2013 and until recently when I entered into retirement was on call twenty-four hours a day seven days a week.

Along with all the everyday routines and life style changes it was amazing to me to realize what a big impact my job description had on how I defined who I was to others and myself.

​

Even with forethought and planning it's quite a change which I feel I am still adjusting to. In the short time I have been retired I have come to appreciate the experience, wisdom and appreciation for what I have, along with the since of real appreciation for those in my life. Tools given to those of us who have reached our retirement years.

​

In addition I found myself having to make real changes in how I managed my retirement funds which are less then what I had been bringing home every two weeks. Suddenly I'm living on a fixed income and I needed to adjust my life style to fit.
