Still Young, but How We've Grown!

in Silver Bloggers3 years ago (edited)

Even at the age of 40 many of us start thinking of THAT BIG DAY.

Gretchen Rubin said:

The days are long, but the years are short.

Remember when as a tiny toddler you would count the sleeps before your birthday?

Well, that's what many start doing once they get close to THAT BIG DAY, the major life-changing event called RETIREMENT!

I worked with a guy who printed out a special calendar and marked off each day counting down to that BIG DAY!

Once into that new phase of life, many of us Silver-haired, or those who've had their hair repossessed like our friend @papilloncharity put it, try and forget about that upcoming birthday as that big number seems quite unbelievable.
That is how many of us Silver Bloggers feel as well; that's why we're here after all so don't let this opportunity slip you by if you have not joined yet, time is slipping away!

Where else can you do something you've always wanted to do, and that is write about life experiences especially pre- and post-retirement; learning about Crypto plus earning some in the process AND meet kindred spirits and have some fun?


I shared some of our Silver Bloggers' posts in We've only just begun... so take a peek as some of our Silvers take a trip down memory lane, sure to bring back fond memories and a big chuckle; you'll learn a thing or two plus see some awesome photography from our talented members.

Hive Silver Bloggers currently is one of the younger communities and the go-to-place for sure if you have a heart and mind that refuses to age and become staid.

Something else to remember is that the Silver Bloggers Community Owner account @hive-106316 still is a little babe here on Hive, so please help it grow by hitting the follow button!

In order to grow our community account, I will be blogging from my own account when publishing posts for Hive Silver Bloggers and will make @hive-106316 the post beneficiary.

Once this little babe has more followers, I will publish directly from that account.

Lastly, don't forget to pop in and support our Silvers; you're sure to end up having a good old belly laugh when you read some of the blogs which will take you back to your heydays, or get some good advice from seasoned Silvers on the ups and downs of retirement planning!

My hair is getting silver AND being repossessed at the same time! Lol. Thanks so much for starting this group @lizelle. It's so good to see people with a sense of humor left. It's an honor to be part of this.

I'm so glad to see you here @farm-mom, you and @thebigsweed were on @pailloncharity's radar as well; he told me in the beginning that there's an awesome couple he wanted to invite, but he didn't know that I already knew you guys. Look forward to seeing your blogs here. I think you'll especially enjoy my friend @artywink's latest one, is such a fun one;)

Oh, we like when people see our connection. We joke about being the power couple. What a goof. But we do share stories, thoughts about people and communities that we enjoy. It's perfect for a retired couple. I hope all goes well with #Hive Silver Bloggers.

Oh I love this post Lady Lizzy and well done.
Let's hope that we can all gang up together to show others how much life is left in us.
Go @silverbloggers, Go.

A big thank you to you for being my guiding hand with this and the encouragement, retirement certainly brings on a whole new exciting phase in life especially here in this place called Hive where we connect with folk from all over the world.🤗

Now I am not exactly the best helper Lady Lizzy, as there are others in this new community called #silverbloggers that are way more clever than me.

The problem is that they have not seen the comments and the posts here, because they don't "Follow" #silverbloggers.

Maybe you can place a notice in the Rules that states "Following is mandatory"???
We all need to engage here in order to grow methinks.

Will have to do something, thank you my friend, you're the best. Blessings to you and Marian from a coldish Durban

Snow on the Berg will always drop your temperatures Lady Lizzy and I enjoy the cold air that we have here. Our snow cap peak has not seen any snow yet, but when it does, then you can bet that the whole country is icy cold.
We will eventually get everything sorted out.

Blessings also to you guys.
