Notes from my Diary:
"There are innumerable ways to stay involved and engaged in the world as we age. Today, Individuals in their 70s and 80s are attending colleges and Universities to learn undergraduate or graduate degrees.
Some take courses with the aim of acquiring a degree, others to follow personal interest or develop a talent or skill. Increased leisure time is one of the great rewards of retirement. Finally there is more time to spend with family and friends, pursue interests, and enjoy the things we worked hard for.
Increasingly, there are magazines, radio and television shows, and Internet Web sites geared toward the 50+ population, featuring content on innumerable topics related to aging, including lifestyles, medical concerns, food, and health.
For those who belong to either the Canadian or American Association of Retired People [CARP or AARP], there are discounts for insurance, travel, and other major purchases."
With Love, Amma-Nana
