Retirement is one of the most significant turning points in life; it’s the end and the beginning. Trading long hours at the office for days on the golf course, travel or just playing with grandkids motivates most people in their corner of a long career.
However, leaving the workplace can also be a bittersweet time for the retiree who feels both excitement and trepidation. They can look back over those years (or decades) of tasteless meals at company banquets; while standing before a future that seems endless.
If someone you know is retiring, then sending them a happy retirement card with your best wishes will be a simple way to congratulate them on a successful career and also provide some blessings for their future life.
Adding some heartfelt good wishes and warm quotes to a store-bought card is a surefire way of making that retirement message still more memorable!
Do you know someone who is starting retirement but doesn’t know exactly what to say on a retirement card? Here are a few of my favorite retirement wishes. Send them off well on their next adventure! Lts start!
