The causes and ways of managing stress are as individualized as each of us.

One of the things that is universal in dealing with stress is talking with someone you trust.

For those who have been following me, you know I made the decision this spring for my dad and I to move to be closer to family – still the right decision!

According to the Farlex Financial Dictionary. the silver ceiling is an unspoken barrier to hiring or promotion that is experienced by some older employees. A silver ceiling may exist because some in management mistakenly believe older employees are not sufficiently innovative, or simply because they are too close to retirement to implement a long-term vision. We now know nothing is further from the truth!

With every transition in life, we often find ourselves alone, or at least without the comfortable support group formed from our last phase. The pandemic amplified this tenfold. Workers used to daily team meetings or even the occasional coffee break chats are finding themselves talking to themselves or even their pets!

This pandemic continues to set new records in all aspects of our lives including those in retirement age. Understandably, many are less financially healthy than they were a year while others have decided that life is too short and have decided to live on much less.

Spring is always a time of promise. As we continue to move toward the end of lockdown, spring is, even more, if possible, a symbol of renewal. What better time than now to review the past, take stock of the current, and most importantly, start to plans for the future.

No matter how exciting, good and fun a life transition can be, almost always, they come with stress, chaos and uncertainty.
