Social Network at Retirement
One of the most important and interesting thing to do is social networking. I am busy catching up with 'old' friends - rekindling the friendship of yesteryears. The first thing to do is to find out where your friends are, what's the contact number, email id etc. Then, set up a group address using your emails and start reconnecting with them.
Since my retirement, I have one on one afternoon tea, group lunch at someone's home, evening dinner with close past associates. I organized visits to sick ex associates. I even organized a 2nd reunion for over 30 people.
At the reunion, we will recall the good old days, chat about life after those days, parenthood, grandparenthood, etc. So much to catch up and so much to talk. We planned a 6 hours' party. Will be taking lots of pics.
Further, I am hosting visits from overseas friends - again, friends I have not met for 30 years. This time, it is for lunch..
Friends form an important part of the retiree's life. It helps in our social wellbeing, and mental state too. So, for new retirees, go rebond and network. Have fun..you will enjoy it. I am.
