The last of her children had just moved out and she was really floundering with her life, not knowing what to do with herself.\nKnow that there is not just one transition that is going to happen. There are many transitions and that it is normal and you may need time to re-adjust to figure out where you are and what you want to do.\nWe asked, “What advice would you give to a retiree who feels stuck?”\xa0 She answered, “Appreciate the moment. Live in the present moment, live every moment to the fullest and learn how to find joy right now.”\nContact information:\xa0540-391-0332 \xa0janelle@emerginglifecoaching.com \xa0www.emerginglifecoaching.com\nToday's Freebie can be downloaded at:\xa0http://RockYourRetirement.com/Roadblocks
