Short, pithy reflections illumine all the issues involving retirement living.
Working with the metaphor of a kayak paddling in a new, downstream current of retirement, prominent Wellness expert Bill Craddock offers an array of provocative reflections as a way to invite the reader to envision new opportunities, new relationships, new ways of being. The primary purpose of these reflections is to entertain, edify, and to prepare those anticipating retirement or actually retired with gentle yet intentional paddle strokes for guiding their life (kayak) into their later years.

“A thought-provoking blend of personal stories and time-honored wisdom suggesting that retirement offers a chance, our last, but possibly our best, to deepen our personal and spiritual relationships.”—John McQuiston, author of Always We Begin Again – The Benedictine Way of Living
“A creative, refreshing, and inspiring reflection on retirement as a time of renewal rather than withdrawal; a season for reconnecting with the people, places, memories and values that matter most to us.”—Martha Horne, former Dean and President Emeritus of Virginia Theological Seminary
