Successful and Creative Aging

As I have retired and moved on I have investigated research that will help me to enjoy life until the end.

I have found some information that tells us that creativity is important to successful aging

For example the Alzheimer’s Poetry Project: Santa Fe New Mexico tells us that “...even in the late stages of the disease reciting poetry helps spark people’s memories, remembering words and lines from poems and stories of their youth.” I have found ways to explore my creative side with painting and poetry. You might be interested to go to my other blog Art with Wrinkles.

I enjoy painting and poem creativity even if I'm not Pablo Pacasso.

Retirement Workshop

This workshop is designed for persons who are considering retirement or have already retired. While financial security is critical for retirement satisfaction and success, identity and social relationships are equally important. Retirement affects people differently. On the positive side it can mean new goals, interests, and activities. On the other end it can mean heavy stress, physical deterioration and depression.

This four-hour workshop helps participants explore attitudes and feelings about the social aspects of retirement. I am looking for organizations, either businesses or not for profit organizations that would like to sponsor this workshop.

Small groups discuss their answers to retirement questionnaires and scenarios. Participants increase knowledge of successful retirement factors.

If your organization, either businesses or not for profit organizations, would like to sponsor this workshop for your members or staff contact me at:
