IDEAS TO KEEP YOURSELF OCCUPIED

I retired back the end of June 2026.

One thing I have found over the course of the last few days is my coloring book and markers.  I was having a hard time late into the night last night and lots of crying and got out my book and markers and was able to color this.  It calmed my mind and distracted my thoughts.

I know I have to feel my feelings but can distraction be a good thing every now and then?

    Excellent suggestion ​@DianeH771573 !  Have you checked out AARP’s Coloring Book For Grown Ups in the Games section?   Very relaxing.
