"Why" has to be among the first words we learn. Little children have a way of repeating it over and over until we just wind up saying, "It just is. I don't know why.” It is strange how this simple exchange seems to hold over the years.על ידי Del Lowery

925 Don"t Waffle 8:07

7d ago8:07

924 Man Thinking 8:34

17d ago8:34

8:34

No wonder that retirement comes as such a shock to the system for many of us. We have never had to really engage our mind independently of family, school or job. It is no wonder that a person can be 60 years old, very well educated, skilled and competent and yet say, "I don't even know who I am. I don't know what I am."…

24d ago11:11

1M ago8:07

8:07

What is the key to keeping healthy in life? There are about as many theories as there are people. The older I get the less attention I pay to all of these "secrets to a long life". What I like are ideas that fit in with what I am already doing.על ידי Del Lowery

1M ago8:03

916 Doing Nothing & Guilt 7:42

2M ago7:42

7:42

That is it with retirement isn't it? We don't know what we are supposed to be or do. We have no parents to tell us what to do or not do. We have no teachers to direct us. And we have no bosses or supervisors to dictate our efforts.על ידי Del Lowery

908 The Pacific Northwest 6:56

4M ago6:56

6:56

For us it was: a temperate climate not hot and not cold. We wanted a university in the town and we wanted it on the west coast, close to mountains and salt water, close to a big city (Seattle and Vancouver in this case), not so small that we would know everyone and not so big that we couldn’t feel like part of the community.…

5M ago8:48

8:48

Retirement is like that. Life is like that. It isn’t that you grow Dahlias, write the great American novel, or build a better boat. The questions to answer are: Does it work for you? Are you committed? Do you understand what you're doing with your life and why?על ידי Del Lowery

906 Meaning & Purpose 7:45

5M ago7:45

6M ago7:27

7:27

In the younger phase we are always being asked what we are going to do in life. The question usually refers to a career plan. In the last half or so of life we are usually asked what we are going to do in retirement. Many of us never prepare. We just launched into it.על ידי Del Lowery

6M ago8:55

8:55

It always amazes me that we can do all of our little errands and at the same time get terrific exercise. The papers and magazines are filled with articles that report about the effect of exercise on this or that disease. It seems like exercise is the only thing that is always recommended. I don’t think you can do too much.…

896 Retirement and Freedom 7:07

7M ago7:07

895 Being Alone in Retirement 7:50

7M ago7:50

7:50

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.

891 Birds 8:11

8M ago8:11

8:11

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.על ידי Del Lowery
