Introduction: Mapping Out a Plan for the Rest of My Life and Enjoying the Journey

My Golden Years are an extension of the life I have lived up to retirement which began on December 1, 2011. I have organized this blog to include the top ten relevant topics shown below in the right side column in General Topics. Just click on one and you will see all that I have written on that topic. Click on the Most Current tab for chronological order of all entries.

I have addressed each topic in no particular order other than what is currently on my mind on the day I am posting. I started each topic by describing where I was when I began this blog and then exploring the possibilities of progression and any goals that I would like to meet. After that, I write about the path to reach that goal as it happens. Sometimes I just write about what is happening now.

I welcome any comments and questions either on this blog or email as I travel these paths and hope to share my growth with interested persons who may find some common elements in their own path to the rest of their life. I hope to use my skills as an appraiser for nearly 30 years to continue to observe different perspectives on a subject and reconcile into a conclusion that is of value to me. Please join me whenever you like. Email notice of new posts is no longer available so just bookmark the address.

The Blog Archive tool is helpful to find posts by year. Of most importance to me is the confidence developed in my intuitive skills over the years and it is that part of my character I am trusting to define value in my life. I believe change can be good and I can be enriched by believing in my true self using my intuition. The analytical part of my life no longer has a financial grip and I can let go of what absolutely made sense at the time in favor of what feels right now. I have done a lot of work since this blog began in 2011 and I hope you will join me as I explore this approach in My Golden Years.

Eureka Springs, Arkansas - 45th Wedding Anniversary

Keith & Beti
Harding Springs at Eureka Springs, Arkansas

Eureka Springs, Arkansas is only a couple hours south from our home in SW Missouri.  We have visited many times since we moved to Missouri in 1978.  It just seemed right to celebrate our 45th Wedding Anniversary in a place that is most familiar and holds many fond memories.  It is a place full of uniqueness and interesting people.  It is edgy and eccentric.  It is full of unusual history.  No wonder we feel comfortable here!  It was a time to make some more memories.

There are so many things to do and see, I cannot begin to write about it all here.  I can share the collection of photos I took in this music slideshow.  It was an amazing happening.  This is us.
