Increase your in-person interactions is the third key of our five keys to happiness in retirement.

You probably believe we are more connected today than at any other time in history. You are right!  We are more connected in our ability to instantly find answers, chat with anyone anytime, and gather information.

However, as we become more connected through social media, video calling, and messaging we also feel increasingly lonely. So even though we may use technology to feel more connected, it may also lead us to feel lonelier.  That’s the irony.

Episode 113 Building Your Community

Besides your spouse and children some of the most satisfying connections you have are with your friends.  We make our friends within the communities we share.

My relationships with 3 of my closest friends started in our work place.  Arrie, Gail and I met while working at an insurance company over 44 years ago.  Arrie and her husband are godparents for one of my sons.  Teresa and I met while I was working at another company 32 years ago.  These friendships are so dear to me that sometimes they overlapped and we all have many shared experiences beyond the work place.

In his book, Naked Retirement another friend, Robert Laura states, “During retirement, we all need human connections for physical, emotional and spiritual health.  Yet, most pre-retirees don’t realize that once they retire, the luxury of running into and connecting with people they know will suddenly and dramatically change.”

You may agree with Robert, indeed I do.

We are social beings.  We need to have connections with others.  So many communities such as school, work and church provide connections by default.  There is no good way that you could be there and not interact with others.

But, what happens after you graduate from school?  Like so many you move on to other phases of your life.  Even if you keep some of your school-based connections career building, marriage and family life generally takes over.

Age like time can’t be controlled by the mere mortals that we are.  We can reminisce about our days as young adults finding our way in the world, how much fun we had, and how supple our bodies were, but there is no way to go back.

Therefore, we might as well make every effort to enjoy our lives at every age.

Get excited about what you can look forward to.  In my thirties and forties, I was driven to raise well-adjusted children and be successful in my career.  I don’t regret that phase my life.  What about you?  What were you doing in your thirties and forties?

Tell the truth, whatever your quality of life then would you really want to repeat it now?

I don’t.  It’s because of what I experienced then that I can enjoy what I’m doing now.   In my sixties, I have so many choices, that every day is a new adventure!

How do you feel about someday turning sixty, seventy, or eighty? Perhaps you struggle to imagine yourself growing older. Maybe you’re not looking forward to your golden years. Aging, for many, includes becoming inactive and experiencing failing health.  Yes, you may have some health issues however, you can maintain your zest for living and enjoy a positive existence, if you wish.

We hear a lot these days about the great resignation, where many people are leaving their jobs with no urgent need of replacing them.  As well as many others are taking early retirement and traipsing off on wild adventures.

Do you wonder like I do how can they do that?  Surely there aren’t that many Trust Fund Babies in our towns.  Of course not.

Wouldn’t it be great to have enough money to live your life to its fullest?

With a little bit of focus you can have enough money, if you’re willing to plan and stick to a budget. A well-planned budget enables you to make financial decisions that support your happiness and peace of mind.

Episode 109 Promoting the Power of Poetry

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 7:52 — 10.8MB) | Embed

Subscribe: RSS | More

Since 1996 April has been designated as National Poetry Month by the Academy of American Poets.

Beyond rhythmic verses, metaphors, and sometimes flowery language, poetry can be beneficial in at least two ways.  One is that poetry can help us improve our critical thinking skills as we try to understand what the author is telling us.  Poetry encourages us to think of things from different points of view similar to many brain gym exercises that are designed to improve brain functions.  Poetry is a fun way to keep our brains sharp.

A second way that poetry can be beneficial for you is its healing powers.  Whether you are writing poetry yourself, reading or listening to someone else’s work, poetry can help us channel our emotions to get through stressful, traumatic or depressive situations.

  1. You can celebrate National Poetry Month by writing a poem or two of your own, or
  2. You can attend a poetry event at your local library or neighborhood café. You may even try organizing one for friends, or
  3. Consider dusting off the books on your bookshelf and reading a few poems.

You may remember our former guests, Pat Stanford and Bobby Blackmon who are authors of books that contain poetry.  In honor of National Poetry Month, we will share some of their works with you.  For more information about Pat Standford go to: www.patstandford.com.  For information about Bobby Blackmon go to wcblackmon.com.
