Do projects regardless of big or small . Volunteer at a facility you care about . Mentor someone . There is sooooooo much out there that you can do to help your community and yourself . If you are not doing any of this then blame the person in the mirror .
Just because you retire doesn't mean you can't contribute to society . Your options are wide open . You have years of experience and life events behind you , share and help the next generation . This assumes that you are relatively healthy physically and mentally . Go enjoy life .

Imagine how difficult it would be to heed that advice if you needed it? Folks that retire and sit like lumps… maybe that’s depression? Seems like a problem that even I would suggest needs professional help.
I remember first day of my previous break, 5 hours in morning spent alone crawling around in bushes reinstalling/rebuilding the bases of some rotten fence posts, 15 minutes after Ive got everything put away the wife comes home to find me collapsed on couch and says she’s worried about how I’m going to keep busy. Thanks hon, could’ve used a hand this morning.
