[Newsletters] Re: [Goanet] Retire with Grace. Nelson you are completely right
in what you say, but there is no need to feel helpless and sad at one’s
situation. Here are a few ways you can combat it.1. Stopping running around to
fulfill your children’s family needs. No babysitting (you have long completed
that part), no doing their odd jobs because they do full time jobs and think
you have time on your hands.2. Get out of the house daily on any pretext and
meet for breakfast or otherwise with a group of same age, like minded spirited
friends who like to have a laugh and don’t relapse too much into their medical
problems.3. Go for every event you can. With your wife if she wants to, alone
if you have to. Church feasts, cultural events, musical shows, village
celebrations are all fair game. Do the small things you wanted to do for which
you never had the time.4. You have an in-hand voluntary project in P.C. Trust.
Take it in new directions, bring in young volunteers and scholarship
beneficiaries to do the physical work. You concentrate on the new creative
ideas, delegation and direction.These activities will dispel all your feelings
of being made to feel redundant, unneeded and will bolster your self
esteem.Roland.Toronto.> On Jan 24, 2021, at 9:12 AM, Nelson Lopes
