Hello from a New Retiree Excited to Connect!

[Blessedman]

Hello everyone,

I’m new here . This is a big change for me, and I’m excited to explore this new chapter of life. I’ve always enjoyed reading, gardening, travel, volunteering and now I finally have the time to dive deeper into them.
I’d love to connect with others who are navigating retirementsharing experiences, tips, and perhaps even some laughs along the way. What are some activities or communities you’ve found most rewarding since retiring?
Looking forward to getting to know you all!

Warm regards,
(Jim)

The activity I've found most rewarding since retiring 6 yrs ago is to get up when my body is ready and not have to do anything. But I am a creative and very busy at home, however, I can now do what I want when I want. Blessed life! I hope you enjoy being here as you find your way around.

My favorite thing to do is sleep, however, I try to keep active.
Any day I am still standing, is a good one.

Where you come to the right place I also enjoy reading. I have a Kindle and enjoy a tremendously. If you haven't tried it you may want to buy one it's well worth the money you feel like you have an encyclopedia all in your hand you can download books return them. If you don't like them for one small fee, and it's just great and it puts you in a different world. Exercise is great to 4 to 6 days a week for at least 30 minutes is great. You can go at your own pace.
The biggest challenge is staying engaged and connected. Try a local church or a book club. Look for classes and workshops. Many of these are free at your local library or other churches. Oh I forgot the mention about the food these taste so good but be careful they might not be good for you!!!

Hey Jim. A gentle reminder that this forum has members all around the world, not just in the USA. That may be something for you to take advantage of, in terms of learning what other cultures are like and how they differ in their outlook. JIMB in Toronto.
