Living in retirement

“Our hearts were made for You, O Lord, and they are restless until they rest in you.” ~ St. Augustine

I'm most commonly asked if I'm bored in retirement. I am not. 

Retirement is a misnomer for this stage of my life. To me, I am "retired" from working for money. I am not, however, "retired" from living. The shift is that my identity is not connected to what I do for work. Now, purpose comes through relationships and service. That is enough for me.
