Retirement, Unscripted
Life After The Alarm Clock
Life after the Alarm Clock
Michael & Catherine Benner
Retirement Unscripted is a record of our first year of retirement ~ learning how to live this new season fully and honestly.
After years of living by alarms, calendars, and long established routines, we found ourselves with far fewer structures and discovered that freedom still needs form. New rhythms, new boundaries and new ways of deciding how days are spent still needed purpose and structure.
Some of what we try works, and when it doesn’t, we adjust and rethink. Sometimes, we begin again.
Along the way, we travel, take photographs, write things down, and notice what changes when time is no longer dictated by a schedule we didn’t choose.
This isn’t a guide for retirement. Nor is it a plan or a promise.
It’s simply us, in this season of a retirement unscripted, figuring out what life looks like after the alarm clock, and keeping a record as we go.
If you’re curious, you’re welcome to follow along.
