Three Months Moved and Transition is Complete

It has been three months since my husband and I:

• Sold our house in Illinois
  
• Retired from both our jobs
  
• We moved to Florida to a brand new house
  
• Bought a new golf cart
  
• My Mom sold her house in Illinois
  
• My Mom moved to Florida, after 58 years in her house, two minutes away from us
  
• Sold both of our cars, and bought ONE cart and ONE golf cart to share
  
• Golfing, Pickleball, joining clubs, new activities, and making new friends.
  

I have made the transition and now have left my “working” life. So, if you follow me for new music technologies or education resources, you will be disappointed. I am now in a world of relationships, innovation, and new passions of being active in retirement. I will look for musical activities and use technology that involves me and the people who are close to me.

As I look back on the transitions in my life, moving from high school to college, then college to working life, it’s is about leaving your past life and inventing new possibilities. It’s time to move on.So, I am leaving the world of music education and education technology. 

I now am concentrating on being retired and the new discoveries that require. Using my music and technology passions will be a given, but it’s like I was as a high school or college student, taking classes, being in clubs and organizations, but WITHOUT the stress of work and/or tests. 

We moved to  The Villages. If you don’t know about this place, it . To say this is a retirement community where people sit around is NOT the case. I am in paradise:

• 88 rec centers
  
• 65 swimming pools
  
• 4 fitness centers
  
• 9 country clubs
  
• 29 excutiv golf courses
  
• 486 holes of golf
  
• 100 tennis courts
  
• 100 pickelball courts
  
• 1800 clubs
  

So, a new journey begins. It’s all about simplifying my life, making things easier and playing!
