Daily Gratitude: This is so important for retired people to pay attention to. And often it’s important for others who are still working but aren’t happy. No matter your age, you can and should have a purpose. Once you have that purpose, you’ll find yourself happier and willing to do things you never thought you’d do. The older we get, the more we do have to help and tell others. The wisdom that comes with age must be shared with others. That’s the primary way to not have history repeat itself – by telling others what you’ve learned. Don’t let anyone, or yourself, make you think you’re just taking up space. The universe has put you here for a reason. You just may have to work a bit to find out what that purpose is once you stop working and think your “important” life is over. No it’s not over. And don’t ever let people try to convince you of that. I went through that last year when I turned 75. Fortunately I finally got past that and pray that it won’t happen again. I have worked hard to figure the things I still have to “say” and they will keep me going. What about you?
