Living The Ideal Retirement Life
It’s exactly one year since I retired from active lifestyle, now I simply rest my tired limbs at home. Yap, it is my ideal retirement time. There is no more morning rush to catch the train to work, no more bad days in office, no traffic jam to beat deadlines, or even any worry of work backlog on my office desk. Girls, it’s my ideal time to take a number of cruises out of town, to visit my old pals, and to look after my grandchildren. Who doesn’t love that anyway, feels like being ahead of the gang with quite a number of years, but trust me, I love it and I am not just about to give up enjoying these seniors years.
However one thing that I have to caution you my friends about is the boredom that eats deep into you before you get used to this retirement lifestyle. Initially I also found it extremely hard to live up to my retirement expectations. Before I settled down into my retirement life and ended up embracing this life style, say in my first few months, I felt the desire to get back to the office and keep busy. In fact most of the times I woke up pretty much early like I used to, only to remember I was retired. How sad, but yap it happened for quite a number of times within the first three months.
But since I didn’t want to end up into depression, or denial, I chose to seek a counselor. I found one within town and after some ideal sessions with her, we arrived in a decision that I would find an ideal assisted living facility to get into. Ideally she even suggested to me senior living ottawa as one of the leading retirement facilities. With that and some few adjustments to my own lifestyle such as changing my wake up morning call alarms, getting other stuff to do around the house such as formation of new food receipts I got busy and finally embraced life in retirement.
Today 12 months down the line, I am comfortably settled in the suite of my choice at Retirement Homes Ottawa, I live an independent life, have the ideal company around me, get the services of the best caregivers, and I have the best knowledge to use in my retirement lifestyle.
Since I sought after the right help I found retirement lifestyle to be quite ideal. I even changed my outlook on it and finally got the best way to embrace it.
