Daily Life & Simple Joys
What does a “good day” in retirement actually look like?
Often, it’s found in the small things: hobbies, routines, staying engaged, enjoying home, and filling time in ways that feel satisfying rather than forced.
How do you spend your days? Is this meaningful to you, or simply wasting time?
Home Sweet Home
Life begins and revolves around your home sweet home (and whether a home, condo, apartment or room in assisted living, doesn't matter, it's HOME). Make it yours. Don't think temporary, raise your spirits in your own mode of living!
As we age, there are so many simple products we can buy to live a better life. Senior independant living is what we really want. Right?
I found many for my mom as she aged in place at home, then later in Assisted Living. I hope some of my ideas might be the perfect solution for you too!
Let's share ideas and encouragement for creating a daily life that feels balanced, interesting, and personal — not busy for the sake of being busy.
Do you have personal interests or hobbies? I have a large list started to help. you remember a long-gone hobby or something new you might enjoy!
Based on where you are in life right now (not necessarily your age, but what you are capable of doing to stretch your body and mind)... what do you do daily (or most days) that you enjoy?
How do you keep busy with retirement activity?
Please share below to give other retirees ideas -- and to prove we can still do personal interests, perhaps with a little help.
- Are you a reader (like me) who reads on Kindles now for larger text?
- Do you enjoy walking, whether leisurely strolls or power walks? Do you use anything to help with balance or energy?
- Do you follow local news? politics? a specific health topic? How do you help to contribute to this area, since you have both time and interest?
