learn a new language? go to a shooting range and learn how to shoot (gun, arrows, slingshot)

buy a puzzle

boat in a bottle

volunteer <--- this, although sounds cheesy is so fulfilling

set an exercise goal for self (such as...i want to be able to run/walk 3 miles)

When my Dad retired he ran into the same problem - time on his hands and not quite prepared for it all. He did his regular passions like fishing and hunting and camping but wanted something more. He got involved in woodwork. He made tables, bookcases, cabinets, cut patterns for wood crafts and sold them.

I don't know your skills so it is hard to say what would match for you. But finding a hobby that uses your skills is an easy place to start. Expanding your skills and learning something new are avenues for you.

You would be a great mentor, considering your background. But I also recognize that sometimes a person wants to go into a different area after retirement. Whatever you choose, wishing you the very best.

anabih agrees: She is the most accurate, I'll have to learn, how to be independent, relying on myself, learning how to cook, arrange the house, I have discovered during the absence of my wife, do not know a lot of things, than start looking for a hobby. Many thanks

Hello a:

I dunno if you can afford this one, but it's the coolest hobby I've ever seen.

Start collecting newspaper articles on something: e.g. on airplanes crashes in Mediteranen Sea, or traffic accidents that happened in Cairo, or on political assasinations.
