Retirement

We have reached a stage in life when we experienced all that were told to us . The importance of people over material goods reigns above all. We appreciate our loved ones & our friends much more now than ever. Perhaps, we have enough to sustain our basic needs . We can afford to go up the heirachy of needs.

We can afford to think of the less fortunate & offer more in kind & deed. This is a time many of us retire. Some of us dread the impending loneliness when we may have nothing to do . Self -improvement classes add to "things - to - do "list . But , nothing will beat charity work to those who need it most. We were once in those straits. How much a "small" deed meant to us then !

After the celebrations of retirement farewells, it is time to face the reality of odds. What does life mean to me now ? What can I do to help those in need ? Then get into the act. Life will be more meaningful & happier.
