This is a membership Morsel from “Too Young to Retire”. Today, we are continuing to talk about what other communities you can join this summer.
Have you ever thought about how many communities you really belong to? Some communities many be stopping for the summer like your church choir. Other are just getting started like sports leagues, baseball, golf, or other outdoor sports you may participate in.
All of them have one thing in common, they involve you interacting with other people and participating in some manner that you find enjoyable. Sometimes if you’re older you may find it difficult to participate in these communities.
Why would you isolate yourself? There could be many reasons, it maybe health, or you got a bum shoulder, or a carpal tunnel issue with your wrist, or a bad knee. It could even be that you have lost your spouse and you find it awkward to go to events because it seems they are all couples, and you feel like the odd man out.
It is important that you do not let yourself get isolated from your friends and communities. Why you may ask. Isolation will quickly spiral downward with depression and self-pity and the longer you isolate yourself the harder it will be to re-establish those connections you have with your friends.
This is where 2 Young 2 Retire will help you with working through these issues. I speak from experience having lost my wife suddenly to a heart attack. Making the effort to go to parties, club meetings, conventions and meetings with friends was tough. I learned several strategies on how to deal with each situation and eventually return my life back to normal. By being part of the 2 Young 2 Retire you will learn what these strategies are.
There are so many things you will learn that you should never run out of options. Sign up for our classes, join in the discussion and become part of our community about life after working at www.patterson2y2r.com
