Meeting New People
Over 50 Married More than 20 Years
Libraries, bookstores, coffee shops, theaters and university
lectures are among the many places our contemporaries go to hang out and
socialize. Our peers love Starbucks and
other new wave coffee gathering places because all age groups are there talking
and sharing ideas.
Libraries with cafes are places we go to read newspapers and
magazines. We are there to be around
people. We love people. We need people. We go to sporting events, university lectures
and bookstores for the opportunity to be around people we have never met
before. We have been around a bit and
have the same to share with sharing others.
Learning New Things
We are excited to learn new things if it excites us. We learn to speak new languages. We learn how to pan for gold, make movies,
write books, and cook. We enjoy being
creative with painting sculpture and music.
All this works for us because we have the time and the discipline
necessary for effective learning.
Bonnie and I have friends over 50 and married more than 20
Years that go skydiving, learn ballroom dancing and start new businesses. Many of us get together to share with each
other the new things we are doing. We
are also excited to explore spiritual boundaries fixed most of our lives. We appreciate freedom.
Going Places We Have
Never Been Before
Contemporaries over 50 married more than 20 Years enjoy the
idea of traveling even if it is just across town and to each other’s homes on a
regular basis. Going to spend a night or
a weekend in a bed and breakfast is a first for some. Going to a professional sporting event is a
first for some. Going to a class after
years away from school can be a first for some.
Whether the place you want to go is some place in your
neighborhood, across the country or across the world; others want to share
these experiences too. Cruises are
popular. Taking the train across the
U.S., Canada and Europe are exciting ventures.
Being over 50 and married more than 20 Years is not a
sentence of social restraint. It is a
new venture in freedom to be and do whatever you want to be and do.
Get out of your comfort zone. Meet some new people. Make some new friends. Build some new relationships. Learn something new. Go somewhere you never been to do something
you have never done.
You have one
life. Make it meaningful. Our time is now.
