Staying connected

By Robert A. Johnson

"When we understand that personal accomplishments offer only temporary satisfaction, we will be on track for gaining a permanent sense of belonging and connectedness."

A Recent Retiree from New York City told the Sentinel that she thought she would find contentment when she retired, but that didn't happen. She does volunteer work and serves in her church, but it's not like going to the office every day. She enjoyed the opportunity to help others that her job gave her. Now she finds it hard to stay connected.
