Hi Bec, you never ever talk about learning and playing contract duplicate bridge. As a learner you get to play supervised bridge where you can ask for help from the director so the learning process is easy as you never have to feel alone. Once you have some proficiency, you can play open duplicate bridge, where better players will offer advice when you make mistakes. Playing contract duplicate bridge stimulates one's brain, provides social contact and the tea and biscuits are delicious.
Hi Bec, I joined your epic retirement group a few weeks ago & was really enjoying the contact, I got over 6000 likes & 2000 comments on my first couple of posts & then found I had suddenly been removed & would like to know why??
Excellent article. The secret to life is indeed finding meaning. As you laid out, it doesn't have to be grand stuff (although some helps). The little things are the 'connectors' in our life.
I like to show interest in those who are newly retired or semiretired or those who are 5-10 years into retirement to find out what works for them. Without exception when I take the time to ask them about favourite activities they are genuinely thrilled to share.

A good day kicks off with walking my dog by the river and feeling grateful for nature, family, health, and the ability to be retired! Then savoring coffee produced by MY expresso machine! Next working on my passion project—helping women to capture their wisdom and pass it on. Then a power nap followed by a few chores, a few weights and yoga, then connecting with my husband (he's still working) for dinner and comedy! Last, but not least, hours of uninterrupted reading!! Oh, I almost forgot...8 hours of restful, stress-free sleeping!! It's a joyful routine but with flexibility. Add in sprinkles of travel to explore new places, see kids, and play with grandkids. Life is good. I am thankful!!!
Please consider converting your Flagship class to the American Retirement system as well if you can. We could all benefit from this I believe. Happy Sunday 😊
