What To Do in Retirement



Some people fall into a black mood when they think about retirement. They say, “I don’t know what I would do with myself.”

These statements amaze me. There are a jillion things one can do if not saddled with an eight-to-five job, or more. But then, I was born to retire. It was my sole ambition.

So, if you’re in a black mood thinking about retirement, I have a few suggestions.

Take up woodcraft.


Go exploring.


Hold a baby.


Learn to knit.


Go fishing.


Haunt the library.


Plant flowers.


Talk to chickens.


By the time you get all these and various other things done, you will be old. Then there is no question about what you will do. You will spend your time visiting doctors, dentists, opthalmologists, and chiropractors. You will go to bed early and worry about your elimination. You will try to remember to take your pills and put in your hearing aids. You will be very busy trying to take care of yourself. Being old is a full-time job.
