There are a million blogs and some are just too good to miss. You are aging and I hope you are keeping all the right documents in good order and a secure place for your next of kin to do what has to be done later, when, you know, you pass. But in the meantime, how about talking to the local Kiwanis club about that trip you took?
Some of your friends would love to have lunch with you. But you can't do it over the next few days: you have that checkup, you want to talk with your investment guy and the car needs an oil change. It helps to exercise so get that morning walk in. And, how long has it been since you attended your yoga class?
The evidence is strong that five or ten minutes a day devoted to quiet meditation helps you stay in good contact with your body, your mind and your feelings. There are a ton of Great Courses and another ton of truly wonderful TED talks. Don't miss out on them. Your local library is full of good books and good videos that are free for the borrowing. I hope you aren't skipping them.
When you are employed, you know what your job is. When you are retired, the whole world is open to you. How about a Road Scholar trip to Europe? Ok, at least Canada or the Caribbean. The League of Women Voters could use a little help from you, the Boy Scouts and your favorite political party are both looking for help, too.
As the years pile up, as the body ages, you can see how a person might be quite drawn to just pulling covers back up and staying in bed. At least once in a while.
