Why does this book matter?
A strong retirement is not built alone. Friendships can be one of the most meaningful parts of this new chapter.
Retirement Surprise
Loneliness hits when the day is over, and you have a thousand things to say—but no one to say them to.
What is your plan to find someone to join you on that bench?
Find Games
Play is a vital component of life. That doesn't stop when you start retirement. If anything, you have more time that might otherwise be empty if you didn't play.
My suggestion?
Find people by finding play. Go to the bowling alley; do they have teams you could join? Look for places where folks are gathering for chess or cards or bingo. Find people in your church or folks that worked where you used to. They may have some leads for activities. Along the way you will find friends.
