Aging Adventurer

Filed in archive Offbeat on June 20, 2005

"What should I do now?"

Don't let that phrase eat up the rest of your life as you face retirement. Retirement does not only mean staying in a retirement village and getting bored until the day is finished so that you can go through the same cycle again and again.




Retirement could be the opportunity you have been waiting for since god knows when; time which you need to take advantage of.

You can learn new skills which you never had the guts to leave your job for or which you've always dismissed previously as something which you may want to do later. It could also be the perfect circumstance to do some good and give something back to the community by volunteering.

Or... you can follow in the footsteps of 73-year old Emily Kimball and be the next Aging Adventurer!

Old age should not be boring and depressing. Keep this in mind and spread the news to everyone you know who will be facing (or already facing) this situation. I know, I will.
