So true. When our children are all grown up, its like we can start all over again with new ventures and adventures. So much one can do now online that opens up a world of possibilities even if one is not as healthy to travel everywhere. One can go to a vast amount of different places around the world without physically traveling ( although it's fun to actually go in person) to share business and friendship opportunities that were not possible in previous generations.

Hi there, Phil.

The point you are bringing across really resonates with me. We can still have a vibrant life after retirement and hopefully live happily ever after. My neighbor Dan, has found the love of his life at age 70. His new wife, Diane is a Suzanne Somers look-a-like.

As a mental wellness clinician, I get to talk to people of all ages. One of my last clients was a young 65-year-old. She has always taken good care of herself - she has everything she needs - nice home, car etc., no kids, and she sticks to a plant-based diet, she exercises, and is in tip-top shape.

However, her husband was a coal miner and was unfortunately trapped underground and she lost him. Long story short, she succumbed to depression, sleepless nights, the whole 9 yards.

However, she was able to pull herself together and get on with her life again by connecting with friends, keeping her self busy, and she is doing fine.

I have lived in 55-plus community for the last 17 years and I love it. Right now, I live in a HOA community of 700 condominiums. That is a lot of emails, Phil.

These seniors are super seniors on every level. Before I move, though, I am hoping to connect with more people. The opportunities for seniors here are endless. There are so many activities.

No worries Phil. Oceana has a monthly directory so I plan to get a few emails whenever I can catch them between flights. I have built some amazing friends who love to travel the globe. Seniors are a hot commodity right now. They are in demand. Like my grandson, Kylo, says after he finish eating, and throws his hands in the air and says - "I'm done." That's all I got right now.

Your friend,
Rachele

hi phil you are doing what i am following with coalescencelife.com my main thrust is getting people to connect with each other start local support groups in their street and i have means of doing that and there are other aspects that i address but earning online income was one of my subjects i will address. Im a bit worried about the de-humanising objectives of current world direction and the introduction of fake news instigated by our goverments including fake people (they can now emulating people like Morgan Freeman and other world know persons) I feel it could be imperative that humans connect with humans in local live situations and practice interdependence.

Good article. A website gives communication and extra income would be nice for anyone. Working on something keeps someone busy and many things can look into about a website. I'm still trying to figure out things about my niche site that I may be over looking. Definite a good thing to look forward to working on.

Phil,

These are all great articles, but curious about posting them internally.

I won't lie, you are giving me several ideas, as my niche is -
