Download or read book Early Bird written by Rodney Rothman and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2006-12-29 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone says they would like to retire early, but Rodney Rothman actually did it—forty years early. Burnt out, he decides at the age of twenty-eight to get an early start on his golden years. He travels to Boca Raton, Florida, where he moves in with an elderly piano teacher at Century Village, a retirement community that is home to thousands of senior citizens. Early Bird is an irreverent, hilarious, and ultimately warmhearted account of Rodney's journey deep into the heart of retirement. Rodney struggles for acceptance from the senior citizens he shares a swimming pool with and battles with cranky octogenarians who want him off their turf. Before long he observes, “I don't think Tuesdays with Morrie would have been quite so uplifting if that guy had to spend more than one day a week with Morrie.” In the spirit of retirement, Rodney fashions a busy schedule of suntanning, shuffleboard, and gambling cruises. As the months pass, his neighbors seem to forget that he is fifty years younger than they are. He finds himself the potential romantic interest of an aging femme fatale. He joins a senior softball club and is disturbed to learn that he is the worst player on the team. Early Bird is a funny, insightful, and moving look at what happens to us when we retire, viewed from a remarkably premature perspective. Any reader who plans on becoming an old person will enjoy joining Rodney on his strange journey, as he reconsiders his notions of romance, family, friendship, and ultimately, whether he's ever going back to work.

What's Next? by Michael Bivona CPA, published by IUniverse, was a finalist in the Annual Eric Hoffer Awards for Short Prose & Independent Books. After a rigorous first round of judging, less than 10% of over 1,000 entrants were privileged to have the "2013 Eric Hoffer Award FINALIST-Excellence in Independent Publishing" assigned to their books and digital presentations. The US Review of Books "Before retiring, it's wise to begin building bridges to things you are passionate about, so that when the time comes, you have a choice of which bridges you can comfortably take into the next phase of your life." Some people transition seamlessly into their "golden years," while others have a tougher time entering into retirement, wondering what's next? In Retired? What's Next?, retired accountant, Michael Bivona shares his answer. Part memoir, part retirement guide, this is both informative and inspirational. Touching on essential aspects of retirement like remaining healthy, financial matters, preparing a will, finding part-time and or volunteer work, Bivona delivers practical, real-life advice and insightful reflections. "I realized after a friend's demise that many of the possessions that he had accumulated over his lifetime and were so dear to him, were of no interest to his heirs or friends, and were disposed of like pieces of junk." Staking his own territory in the popular and compelling category of memoir writing, Bivona writes in a genuine narrative tone about how to manage the freedom, new opportunities and choices of retirement by focusing on what he knows and enjoys-traveling, dancing, boating, fishing, tennis, golf, writing, reading, and collecting books. And showing by example, Bivona frames his real-life tips on planning for a rewarding retirement around his reflections and recounting of the collective highlights and significant moments and events of his life and retirement journey with his wife, Barbara. Clearly, the Bivonas have a winning strategy for living life to the fullest in retirement. By learning not merely how to cope, but to thrive by crafting a retirement path that is focused on personal fulfillment and joyful meaning, as evidenced by their successful post-retirement journey. In Retired? What's Next?, retired readers, or those thinking of or planning for retirement, will gain insight from Bivona's shared personal wisdom and learn by example the guidance of his inner and outer retirement journeys, which can be applied to their own retirement goals for staying happy, healthy, and active.

Download or read book On Third Thought written by George Waas and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-04-17 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2012, I wrote a memoir entitled "Retired . . . and Loving It!!" At that time, I covered every subject I wanted to write about, or so I thought. Then after publication, I began having second thoughts. Wait, that's not right. I had a second thought and decided not to write anything further. Then I had a third thought. I understand lots of people claim to have second thoughts about a particular matter, but if they have more than one, how can the one after the second also be a second thought? Frankly, I don't know how anyone can have second thoughts about the same subject. Anything beyond a second thought is a third, fourth, fifth, etc., at least by my count. It was on my third thought that, since I discovered other things to write about, I decided to set them out in a mini memoir as a sequel to my earlier book. I checked with an online publishing company and found several books entitled "On Second Thought" and "On Second Thoughts" and related titles. For those who chose the latter title, they probably didn't give it much thought. But I did, and I didn't find a single book that bore the title "On Third Thought." So that's the one I chose; as they say, the third time is the charm. This sequel to my 2012 bookmy mini memoirfocuses on three general subjects. First, my reflections on things past; second, living in the present, since it's the only time we can live (the past is history and the future lies ahead); and third, making sure that, to the best of my ability, my future is bright and enjoyable by remaining involved in matters of interest and importance to me. And if I can write a book about me, you can write one about you. So get on with it.

We watch turf battles between blue birds and chickadees, and observe his mother's long effort to teach a parakeet her favorite Bible verse. Friends and family populate these pages. He marvels at his daughter's love affair with Africa and the sudden arrival of three far flung grandchildren soon after Hurricane Harvey. Fishing with his wife's four-year-old grandson ends with a surprise entertainment.There are health challenges, oh yes, and the give and take that goes on in a happy marriage. Through it all, however, flows the unstoppable optimism that has sustained him through every crisis.For anyone who has wondered what it's like to approach their hundredth birthday, here is one inspiring and truthful answer, told with the special sheen of wit and human feeling that we have come to expect from this fine writer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a baby-boomer book, a non-fiction, memoir involving a journey which resulted in unexpected personal growth and helped the author adapt to retirement. Dr Frances Black's "retirement gap year" was in a sense, a gift from her 29-year-old son, who decided buy a yacht in Germany and sail it back home to Australia. Not as keen as her husband for extended sailing time on their son's yacht, she formulated a plan to live in Spain and learn Spanish. As problems surfaced, she found she had to abandon her well-laid plans and find new ones. She discovered her unusual journey helped her gain new skills, which she hopes will help her adapt to her new phase in life. The book is based on a blog she kept during this period. She is a retired general practitioner, who has written extensively for both the medical and lay media.
