Although the blog offers much food for thought, the seed of my idea is not about cooking or money matters. This is a blog about retirement, a new stage for me which for sure has its ups and downs.
An example of what will be contained within ranges from aging issues, eyesight problems, falling concerns, and much more; part humor, part deadly serious and part tongue in cheek. This is what I want to share with others like yourself who have done the great deed or are in the planning stages. By putting some retirement concerns out there my explicit hope is for you to respond with pearls of wisdom, stories, mistakes and advice. The information you proffer as feedback will be included in a retirement workbook/comic book that is in the planning stage. I say comic book for much humor is forthcoming.
Here's how it will work. An issue that is of great relevance to seniors and retirees will be presented on the blog, examples: reading glasses and how we lose them; dressing issues; driving concerns; eating; falling; the normal irksome daily problems to us aging folks. My hopes are that you will respond with your personal stories, suggestions and naturally, some handy advice.
I ask your permission to use your first name, city and state when emailing. Please employ the KISS method, keep it simple, seniors, when responding, info should be presented in simple format, concise and brief.
As I have already indicated I know little of what I am doing. I have included a picture, I think, of myself pajama clad, with reading glasses hanging from all pockets and a pair sitting on my head. I can't see them because I'm not wearing a pair to be able to find the others.
So my first instruction to those of you out there who find this blog - tell me how you deal with failing eyesight and the almighty nettlesome issue of reading glasses. I recommend 10, ten pair. What say you?
