I always try to have something organised to do every week day. I want to try to keep weekends special/different.
Classes, social meet ups, jobs round the house, organising holidays etc. You'll find your way.

Hello, and welcome to GN! I basically retired slightly early due to work related injuries, I could have continued to work but not in the physically demanding role I was trained for and I took my OP because I was at an age where I had that choice.
Being still very active I volunteered with a couple of local charities which was really rewarding. I could also go swimming and cycling when I wanted to rather than trying to fit those in around a shift pattern.
Much longed for travel plans became a reality as did time with AC and DGC.
Just pace yourself and don’t make any commitments until you’re absolutely sure. But most importantly, enjoy everything that you do! 💐

Hello there, I'm new to the group and thought I'd introduce myself. I recently retired after a whole life of working, and if I'm being truthful, it's been a bigger adjustment than I ever expected. There have been so many changes all at once that it's left me feeling very overwhelmed.

I don't really have a plan for what's next, and I'm not quite sure where to begin. I'd really appreciate hearing from you, any recommendations that could help me?
