5 Golden Rules For Things To Do In Retirement

Make Retirement a Positive Experience

Hi Folks,

I hope you are having a good day. 

Janie and I are getting ready to go out for a late lunch with friends.  There are a couple great buffets that we rotate every week or so. The afternoon senior crowd gets a huge discount and free drink up until 3:00. Now you can’t beat that. And both of these restaurants (Ryan’s and Golden corral) have wonderful salad bars. So Janie and I have a late lunch/early dinner and therefore don’t have to fix an evening meal and we have great fellowship with our friends.  

Luncheons with friend, movies with friends, walks downtown with friends and all sorts of outings (with friends of course ) are part of our making our retirement a positive experience.

HAPPY NEWS, GOOD NEWS, POSITIVE NEWS AND FUN NEWS

Hi Folks,

I have only a short little article for you today but hopefully what I’m going to tell you will help bring smiles to your face day after day for years to come!

Do you get tired of all the bad news, sad news, negative news and discouraging news that you hear and see every day? I know I do.

I am a big news fan. I love keeping up with what is happening in the world but honestly I don’t understand why the media folks have to only report the bad news. There is a lot of good news happening out there all the time but rarely does anyone tell us about it. What a shame.

SENIOR LIVING: An Extraordinary Retirement

 Hi Folks,

Today’s article is directed primarily at pre retirees, encouraging them to prepare for an extraordinary retirement. But this message is just as important (and maybe more so) for seniors that have already retired.

So many of us enter retirement having no idea how we are going to use our time. I can tell you that the retirees I know who are involved in useful, worthwhile pursuits are a far happier lot than the ones that generally just twiddle their time away.

Senior Citizen, Do You Have a Purpose in Life?

Hi Folks,

I sincerely believe that everyone was made for a purpose and to have a purpose!

Want proof? Look around you. Talk to lots of people. Listen to people when they tell you about themselves. It won’t take long for you to see that the happiest, most fulfilled people are the ones who have a purpose in life  - and the unhappiest people you will meet are the ones who have no purpose.

Having a purpose add meaning to life.
