From a teacher's and pastor's point-of-view, Linden M. Wenger shares his views on retirement. His folksy reflections and personal observations express his own thorough enjoyment of life as a retired person. - Rejoice! You may finally begin climbing down the ladder of success. - Growing older is normal. The only fountain of youth lives within ourselves-in the will and wisdom to renew our own spirits and to take care of our own bodies. - Make peace with death, make peace with God, make peace with the world, and make peace with yourself. - One of the first shocks of retirement hits when we find ourselves out of touch with our familiar world. - As children, my brother and I occasionally plunged into the cold, spring-fed stream on our father's farm. So we must prepare for "the plunge" into retirement. - A host of voluntary service projects await retirees. Hats off to volunteerism! - Coping with loneliness-it is my own feeling that personal faith in Jesus Christ is our greatest bulwark against any and all the forces that batter us in life. - Be sure to make a will and provide other necessary instructions for your final wishes. - Let us dispense with the cult of youth worship. Enjoyment of life does not fade with the bloom of youth
