How To Keep The Bloom On Your Retirement Rose
One of the benefits of having worked as a pharmacist as long as I did was the opportunity to get to know and understand retirees and their lifestyle. What I learned from them has had a huge impact on my thinking about how to get the most out of the mature years. As I interacted with them I used to think that if every person contemplating retirement had a chance to deal with retirees on a daily basis it could dramatically change how they prepare for and live in the retirement years.

Let’s Help Each Other Live Our Best Life
Last week, a close friend attended one of my bi-weekly senior "talks" and as I stood in front of the ten or twelve people in attendance, sharing, I noticed that my friend had a kind of grimace on her face. When I passed the hand-outs to everyone, and the real discussion began, we explored the way seniors have lost the art of communication and do not know how to talk to each other kindly or with respect.
