Retirement is one of the major stressors in life. Your identity is tied to your profession and suddenly you are not that person anymore. After the separation anxiety has lessened and the shock of loss of that big paycheck, you need to find a new identity. Here in The Villages, it is really quite simple. There are many things to peak your interest. Don’t be reluctant to try new things, and also to give up the ones that give you self satisfaction. You will be happy here if you want to be.
