Irwin LengelIntroducing Irwin, writing about his semi-retired life so you can learn more about his personal version of retirement! His words made my heart sing:  "Just let me know where I go from here and hopefully we can bring some interesting retirement issues to other retirees thus making them laugh, smile, know that they are not alone and that others face similar problems as we work our way through these golden years." When you read Irwin's background story: How To Cope... (submitted weeks before he decided to blog here), you'll see why I am amazed this man wants you to know you are not alone -- and how he views his retired life as "Golden Years". Very Inspirational! Introducing Irwin Lengel -Living in Lakeland, FloridaWhile we have been retired for fifteen years now, it wasn’t our intention to retire so young (young by today’s standards of the retirement age). After dodging the bullet, so to speak, through many downsizings, my number had finally been called. That was back in 1995. I was able to secure another job, at a much lower salary (what else is new) only to find out nine months later that they too were in a down-sizing mode and yup, you guessed it, they used the philosophy: “Last in, First out” and once again I found myself unemployed. We took it as a sign, downsized our home and moved on to other things in life, and truly haven’t looked back. One thing led to another and before we knew it we were living in Lakeland, Florida. My reason for becoming involved with writing this blog is because I enjoy writing and find it very therapeutic. Writing enables me to clear my mind and sort of forces me to look at the bright side of things. I wasn’t always this way but a life-changing experience back in 2004 made me look at life from another perspective and it is through this medium that I will attempt to share some of those moments with you and hopefully enlighten you that while sometimes retirement may seem to be the beginning of the end, looked upon in a different light, you will find that retirement can be a new beginning and one in which we come to hope that we have as many years ahead of us in retirement as we did when we first started working.
