New At This

by Remarkable.... Toronto

Hi everyone

I've been in great health all my life.
Retired at 55...I look 40..😉 I'm 58 now.
But....it feels weird some mornings with nothing to do.

I have the gym downstairs but I find myself avoiding it. I'm from NY and I'm used to walking and taking the train everywhere. No need now.

I've moved to Canada, bought a new car. But no real rush to go anywhere. My new wife kindly tries to keep me active. I do experience bouts of anxiety but not depression. Not really boredom just in a new country trying to figure things out. I'm painting and drawing some great art trying to get some recognition. But it's not the same as having a busy nine to five.

I see myself thanking God for understanding how much I appreciate life at this point in life. Some friends are still working or never lived to see this great fete..😉

Takes Time
by: Lisa/Canada

Moving is stressful and takes time to adjust especially moving to a new country. Give yourself time and take little outings "baby steps" to check out your new surroundings. Once you get a bit more comfortable with your new surroundings you'll have less anxiety. If you can find a nice park or check out nature this will help too. Enjoy and give yourself time!
Be Kind

Good Morning,

Please be kind to yourself. This takes and try to enjoy the ride. While driving, I remind myself that I am not in a hurry. I watch others rushing, and understand they are in a hurry, not me. I decide when and where I WANT to go.

Remember be kind to YOU!
