896 Retirement and Freedom

Retirement Talk for Boomers, Seniors, and Retirees ·

2024/08/26

Freedom has all sorts of limitations. Retirement does open up new doors that were always closed. We now gain an advantage in life we have never experienced. But we must be aware of and willing to open those new doors.

895 Being Alone in Retirement

Retirement Talk for Boomers, Seniors, and Retirees ·

2024/08/18

Social isolation is a major problem for retired people. We can lose all emotional contact with others. We lose people to care about. Our phone never rings. We sit at home alone; perhaps get a dog, a cat or a bird. According to a recently published book it is our major problem in retirement.

894 Doing the Dishes

Retirement Talk for Boomers, Seniors, and Retirees ·

2024/08/14

Daily routines present themselves to us - like it or not. What's to be said concerning these daily tasks? Are they to be avoided; to let slide, to dread? Or are they jobs that can be done and even enjoyed?

893 How Much Is Enough

Retirement Talk for Boomers, Seniors, and Retirees ·

2024/08/05

How much money is enough? That’s a pretty good question. When people consider retirement, that is always first and foremost in their minds. They just don’t seem to know how much is enough. There seems to be no hard and fast rule.

892Flat Earthers

Retirement Talk for Boomers, Seniors, and Retirees ·

2024/07/28

How do we determine truth from fiction? We still have some people among us who are "Flat-Earthers". When it comes to politics, well, we have people telling us everything. Who are you supposed to believe?

891 Birds

Retirement Talk for Boomers, Seniors, and Retirees ·

2024/07/21

I think of retired people I know who love to watch birds. They get outside; fair or foul. They travel around the world to see different species. They send money to organizations to help protect birds or bird habitat. Retirement would be well spent if one were to focus on birds.

890 Music

Retirement Talk for Boomers, Seniors, and Retirees ·

2024/07/14

Does music come to mean something else when one retires or moves into the later stages of life? Perhaps Nietzsche’s most acceptable aphorism was: "Without music, life would be a mistake."

888 Changing Our Ways

Retirement Talk for Boomers, Seniors, and Retirees ·

2024/06/30

We tend to develop daily routines. Aristotle knew that and advised us to take care with the routines that we establish. We are habitual creatures, he said. He claimed that we are good people because we have developed good habits. I believe that. I know that I'm a creature of habit.

Retirement Talk for Boomers, Seniors, and Retirees ·

2024/06/16

What wakes you on a daily basis? How do you get your news? Do you control it? It might be worth giving it a bit of consideration. Something to think about.

884 What are the Symptoms

Retirement Talk for Boomers, Seniors, and Retirees ·

2024/06/02

A week ago a vascular surgeon inserted a stent into my iliac artery and on up into the aorta. The aneurysm was big and could pop any time. The aorta was clear but just below that was trouble waiting to cut my time just a bit short at any moment. Symptoms?

883 Traveling by Plane

Retirement Talk for Boomers, Seniors, and Retirees ·

2024/05/26

39,000 feet and feeling miserable. My eyes burn; my butt is numb. I'm scrunched; trying to be thin. Is there a secret to flying that I haven’t figured out?

882 Kicking Back Without Guilt

Retirement Talk for Boomers, Seniors, and Retirees ·

2024/05/19

My education and culture have taught me very little about the benefits of sitting still. Many of us approach retirement with the idea that we must keep busy. We must continue to be "active" and for us that means moving or traveling.

880 Meaning & Purpose

Retirement Talk for Boomers, Seniors, and Retirees ·

2024/05/12

"Individuals who have a strong sense of meaning and purpose generally have better health, recover quicker from illnesses, and typically live longer". This is a quote from one of the many health newsletters we receive. It is a publication from the Wellness Council of America.

879 Using Your Hands

Retirement Talk for Boomers, Seniors, and Retirees ·

2024/04/28

That’s the thing about working with your hands. When you finish the job you can run your hand along a smooth surface, take a picture of it, sit on it or put things in the drawers. You can even show it to other people and bask in momentary praise. It’s real.

878 What Now

Retirement Talk for Boomers, Seniors, and Retirees ·

2024/04/21

Years ago I came across some happiness advice that has never failed me. I liked it because it worked for me and I loved the name of the originator, Baruch de Espinosa: or, Spinoza. "Spinoza knowza", I used to tell my philosophy students.

877 Look Around

Retirement Talk for Boomers, Seniors, and Retirees ·

2024/04/14

I knew that if I stayed there just a bit longer I would become the evening meal of some carnivore. Considering the absurdity of life I thought about it. Then I moved on. Hope is something else that is in our genes. All of our ancestors possessed that gene as well as the one that told them to look around.

876 As We Age

Retirement Talk for Boomers, Seniors, and Retirees ·

2024/04/07

Health issues become more and more personal as we move into and through retirement. Our interest and attention become very relevant individually. They have a way of grabbing our attention.

875 The List

Retirement Talk for Boomers, Seniors, and Retirees ·

2024/03/31

Retirement is a time when a list might be as important as ever. As we enter the latter stages of life our time becomes more important. That is why we have a tendency to slow down. We don't want to rush life.
