RE: Memoir Monday - Week 6 (4/15 to 4/21)

in #memoirmonday2 years ago

I know many people who have felt useless when the time comes for them to retire. They failed to cultivate throughout their lives any activity that would nourish their spirits. Almost nothing attracts their attention apart from watching TV, they do not dance, do not sing, do not paint, do not read, do not write, do not play sports... For people like this, the free time that retirement leaves them can seem like an ordeal difficult to bear, some get sick and fall into depression.

I think it is important that from a young age we learn to cultivate some activity that we like and that catches our attention. I, for example, have always loved to read, I can spend all my time with my books, that's wonderful. Now in HIVE I have also dedicated myself to writing, it is something that I did little and I have discovered that it really entertains me a lot.

Thanks for sharing dear @ericvancewalton . Happy week. A big hug from Maracay.

What if you did all these things and once you hit retirement, you just want something new, something different, an adventure?

Of course. There is always the possibility of doing something new, learning a language, traveling...There are always things to do...Thank you very much for stopping by and commenting dear @iskawrites . A big hug from Maracay.

You bring up a great point, these interests and hobbies have to be cultivated long before we retire! Thank you and I wish you a wonderful week!
