you need to say something significant in a retirement card
that is personal and meaningful.

a great card that can say a lot; but also how to express your heart-felt
wishes in a way that will be remembered.
People transition into retirement for many different reasons; but
one thing that remains the same for all is how enormous the change
feels. It's not like changing a job for most. It's more like one
of the biggest changes in your entire life. For some it feels scary
and they experience it like an end to something. When in reality,
it can be a grand beginning.
Unfulfilled seniors are more prone to health problems including
depression. To stay vital and creative, they need to have a purpose.
Maybe it's to be with their families and grandchildren. Or they
might start a non-profit organization or volunteer to help other
seniors. Talk about that.
Here's a few suggestions that work like magic:
1. They need to know that their transition isn't the end of the
world as they know. Remind them in you retirement card
that it is simply another new opportunity waiting to be created.
2. Talk about the strengths that you have observed this person display
over the years of working with them, how they inspired you to be
a better person, as well as mention how much you will miss them.
3. You could mention how lucky the next people are who get to be
with them.
4. Retirement quotations and thoughtful sayings
can give your retirement cards and speeches a special
dimension. Use a quote that sets a distinctive tone for your message.
It's easy to search of quotes online, but here are a few ideas to
get you started:
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear
is that we are powerful beyond imagination. It is our light more
than our darkness which scares us. We ask ourselves – who are we
to be brilliant, beautiful, talented, and fabulous. But honestly,
who are you to not be so?" ... Nelson Mandella
“What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments,
but what is woven into the lives of others.” ...Pericles (Greek)
