Staying connected is even more important in retirement
Hello, friends.
I just heard a report on the noon news that underscores what I’ve been saying about the importance of social connections in retirement.
The new story indicated that a recent study has drawn a tentative connection between Alzheimer’s Disease and deepening loneliness.
We may not be able to control our genetic makeup, but we can control social contact with other people.
So reach out to someone else today. Make someone a little less lonely. Keep from becoming lonely. You might also reduce your chances of developing Alzheimer’s Disease.

Internet social networking might help too. But websites like Friendster and Myspace are filled with youngsters, and too sexed up.
I found a social networking site targeted for retirees and grown-up. Check it out at http://www.blinxi.com/
