Whenever you feel like doing something take a notepad and write it down!

Save this notepad away... this will be "100 things to do after I retire" list.

Many times we forget to record our desires, and so end up forgetting them.

Don't let it happen to you!



Pursue your passions:

Paint sunsets, sculpt, sing,

learn Tai Chi,

study environmental law,

buy a telescope

and explore the skies.



Read books on your interests :

explore hitherto unexplored genres

like Science Fiction or Romance

.

Read on different topics

like Gardening or Politics.



Travel to those oft-desired places, which you used to dream about.

Have you tasted the chocolate of Switzerland,

drunk the wine of Burgundy, and

undulated at the nature-based health resorts in India?

Have you fished in Florida?



Experience Nature:

Walk leafy paths ,

watch the moon,

feel the wind on your face.

Meditate on sun-soaked grass.



If you follow a religion:

Devote your time to it,

proselytize others,

and

spread your religion.



Have fun with your little ones:

Your grandchildren will be your afterlife to you,

after retirement - you'll live through them.

It is worth taking out some of your valuable time …

playing with them, watching them grow,

helping them learn.



Take proper health care:

Some of your time may be spent

at the cardiologist

or the podiatrist,

depending on how healthy you are.

Look after yourself.



Join special groups meant for your age group:

You'll find many people there

passing through similar experiences.

If you have problems,

they will provide you with support,

and guidance.



Subscribe to a magazine for the elderly:

Such magazine exist

and are targeted at you.

Take advantage of them.



Clear up the slate:

It is best to resolve any misunderstandings,

or resentments

that might exist in others.

You don't want to die being misunderstood.



Write an autobiography:

With your long years of experience, you will surely have a lot to share,

which will be immensely helpful to others.

Even if you feel you have nothing to share, just start writing one,

and you'll be surprised at how freely the words will flow.
