What does retirement mean to you? What does change mean? I have been writing about my own semi-retirement transition for over a year now, only to come to a point where I am not going to retire as early as I'd expected I would. So long early retirement, hello creating a job I truly enjoy.

I hate to beat the same drum that everyone else is beating about the economy, but it is what it is and so leaving a good job right now wouldn't be a smart thing to do.

However. I am still making my transition. How am I making it? Fortunately, at my job, an organizational transition is taking place, so I was able to move into a new position that I'm better fitted for. I actually like my job these days.

My transition is all about learning new skills that will help me become self employed. I am creating my own business and I am learning so much and really pushing myself to create and stay on track. Of course I would prefer to not be working at both creating a business and a regular 9-5. I know it will change, and I'm fairly certain that it won't be much longer.

So, in addition to building my business and working, every now and then I'm struck with some ah ha about retirement transitions or life changes or just life stuff and write about it. This is what this Wikizine and <a href=" http://butwhatnow.com">ButWhatNow</a> is all about.

I'd love to hear from you.
