Well Worth the Wait Nancy Carini

Nancy Carini, a technical writer and researcher for most of her career, put fingers to keyboard on the first day of her retirement. Each day's journal entry became more enjoyable, uplifting and thought provoking. By her last entry on Day 30, she was reluctant to end this journey. Join Ms. Carini as she learned to embrace her new freedom. Meet her trusted buddy-in-retirement, Rudy, a 12-year old Jack Russell Terrior, who had to learn to share his home turf with this new intruder, who was now around the house all the time. What Ms. Carini came to realize was that retirement is well worth the wait. She encourages all to look forward to this exciting transition. "I love retirement... I feel like a kid who has moved into a new neighborhood. I keep running into neighbors during the day - people I normally didn't see because I was working - who are retired. They're my new friends, my potential buddies. I never knew there were so many retired people."
