Retirement is the time of your life for you to be all that you planned to be.

To live life for the moment to live happy, wild, and free. Dave Erhard (COPYRIGHT - Used with Special Permission)

Another Poem for a Retiree Here's to Mark A great guy to whom we say goodbye. We will miss his charm and presence ... no one has to ask why. We will miss his creativity, his humor, and his smile. But we are sure that Mark will use these traits to make his retirement worthwhile! Dave Erhard (COPYRIGHT - Used with Special Permissio
1.(Intrduction)..A warm welcome to everyone here tonight who has come to celebrate Jack Wilson's retirement. Although this is a special occasion for Jack, a number of us including me have mixed emotions about it. 2. Retirement is a time to make the inner journey and come face to face with your flaws, failures, prejudices, and all the factors that generate thoughts of unhappiness. Retirement is not a time to sleep, but a time to awaken to the beauty of the world around you and the joy that comes when you cast out all the negative elements that cause confusion and turmoil in your mind and allow serenity to prevail. Howard Salzman 3. (Wishes)Irish Retirement Blessing May you always have work for your hands to do. May your pockets hold always a coin or two. May the sun shine bright on your windowpane. May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain. May the hand of a friend always be near you. And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.
