Staying Social After Retirement

After retirement, the daily social contact of work disappears. It's worth rebuilding on purpose.
Keep a standing date
Weekly coffee with friends gives the week a rhythm.
Join a group
Walking clubs, book clubs and church groups welcome newcomers.
Volunteer
Helping others is a great way to meet people.
Call someone daily
A quick phone call keeps friendships warm.
Try something new
A class at the library or senior center opens new doors.
Good friends are worth the effort at every stage of life.
