In today's economy, many people are either working longer, i.e. not retiring from their first job, or retiring and then beginning to work again. At whatever point you actually retire from a job that requires daily work, volunteering is a great way to stay connected to others through interpersonal interactions. Transitions are always challenging, often due to a lack of camaraderie or purpose. Volunteering provides a mutual benefit for the cause and for yourself.

Any skill can atrophy. Interpersonal skills are no different. Continuing to pursue your own education in any realm will also allow you to share your experiences with others and, once again, keep your mind sharp! Think about how much you've learned in life. Then consider how much there is left to learn! :) Now is your chance to learn that thing you never had time for. It's not too late. Be brave enough to suck at something new! It gets harder but connecting with others through learning will remind you of the value of being part of a team.

Oh, my goodness. Hello, Gen-Xers (which is me, too!) and Boomers. :) While technology can seem intimidating, particularly as it continues to evolve so rapidly, much of its evolution is intended to make it even easier to use, which provides an excellent opportunity to stay connected. If you're new to social media, definitely read some dos and don'ts for the various platforms, but have fun with it. Take advantage of the ease of keeping up with old friends, colleagues, and family members.
