Much to my surprise, I've had the urge to return to a hobby I haven't done in a long time! My latest #NextChapter #Retirement blog post: https://nextchapter.machlis.com/posts/2026-02-22-returning-to-an-old-hobby-in-retirement/
(Hint: #HamRadio #AmateurRadio 😀 )
The idea of #retirement was a brief 20th century-long detour from life's steady hum.
Now, a polite return to the ordinary rhythm our ancestors never abandoned.
The idea of nice things in senescence was a pipe dream.
The alarm bells mean it’s time to wake up.
#Retirement means many different things to different people. It changes your #perspective. It doesn't solve all your #problems. It doesn't free you of #responsibility or #obligations. You have more choice than before when it comes to setting #priorities. Eventually, you'll have many more #doctor visits. Life is fragile.
Treat people the way you want others to treat you. Resist the urge to stick it to "them" before "they" stick it to you.
