Retirement: I used to be somebody.

by Nachman

All my life, since I was a teenager, I worked. ]

I've been retired for a year and a half now. I identified myself by my job. My job gave me the money to be active in my community and to contribute financially to it.

Now I am nobody, and as I don't even go to synagogue any more, I don't even have any friends. It's like I ceased being a person.

I'm too old to get a job that would be worthwhile and I hate senior groups. They are geared for people who are doddering.

What do I do?
