How to Enjoy Your Golden Years:
Retirement is the point in life when a person stops employment.
So you have lived your life to sweat and toil to fulfill your obligations to your family, and you have made financial plans so you can enjoy the rest of your years in comfort and free of worry. Suddenly one day, you realize you have finally reached the golden years of retirement. With modern medical care, you may still have 30 or more years after retirement. That is why you should make good use of the time ahead.
Retirement is like a permanent leave, a very long vacation. You no longer need to leave home early in the mornings and come back exhausted in the evenings. Now you have all the time to have a sleep in, to stand and stare or to sit on the rocking chair at the front porch. However, sooner or later these non-active activities will become dull and lifeless, that is the time for you to plan for some fun things to do.
Consider the items listed below and enjoy the rest of your golden years to the fullest.
1. Make a list of cherished dreams
If you miss the productivity of the working life then it is time for you to write down a list of 'things I have always wanted to do'. Look back and add in all the dreams of your youth that you have so far to put on hold. Arrange them according to your preference and then try them one by one.
2. Write your life story
Are your life experiences so far interesting and full of twists and turns? Why not look back and put them down in words. It does not matter if you can actually publish your work in the end, just enjoy the process of writing. Your family and close friends will definitely enjoy your story and even have a better understanding of you.
3. Set off for an adventure
Before you are too old to travel, pack yourself some light luggage and set off for an adventure. This time you do not have to worry about the time factor, just decide on your budget. It does not matter whether you are going across the sea or just a nearby village; it does not matter if you are flying, cruising or riding a train, just decide on the trip of your life and enjoy it.
