Retirement Becomes Us

At this juncture in our lives as women of '72, one thing we share for sure is the inevitability of aging. Leaving for later the physical aspects of that journey (which we might gently call a "mixed bag"), this page focuses on our journeys toward and in retirement. Of course, retirement comes with its own challenges, along with marvelous possibilities – in any case, it's a new chapter in our lives. Many of us are already there, while others are still anticipating.

This page shines a light on whatever in these later years helps us thrive, or moves us to contemplate. New hobbies?  Long-deferred creative yearnings now finding expression?  New or expanded volunteer work – for some of us political activism?  And how about the simple joys of study and learning for its own sake – bursting the outdated bounds of career practicality?  Your editor eagerly awaits your stories!  Write or call, and she’ll gladly take it from there,
