What IS Happiness?
My definition of happiness is not eternal bliss... that's simply not realistic. There are ebbs and flows in all of life. BUT -- if you don't change your mindset to look for happiness in life, you can become the grumpy old retiree.
Dictionary.com has a definition of: 1) the quality or state of being happy. 2) good fortune; pleasure; contentment; joy.
I like that definition as they included CONTENTMENT. Happiness can be as simple as lying in a hammock on a breezy summer day... but not everyone lying in that hammock is content. Some are merely stewing about whatever just happened...
Retirement Happiness might mean something as big as a new blog online or something as simple as finding new friends online that you can communicate and celebrate daily life with. Right?
It's all about YOU and YOUR perception of retirement happiness!

Are you Christian? Sometimes you fall into a spiritual rut -- find a new church. There are many and you simply need one that meets you where you are at. On the doors of my own church, it says: "No Perfect People Allowed."
NONE of us is perfect. We are all simply trying to live our retirement the best we can!
What is Gratitude?
You can start a Gratitude Journal any time of the year. Paying attention to the small things in life that happen to you, or small things you see on a daily walk, can make a huge difference in your Retirement Mindset.
When you focus on gratitude in your retired life, your attitude towards retirement (and heck, life in general) will change. It has to.
Retirement attitude matters.
It's time to start living your retirement years -- the best is yet to come (even, simply, from the pure comfort of your own home)! Join me as I find retirement happiness in many different forms, hopefully one that suits YOU just perfectly!
