Ground MaintenanceMy father has recently retired and, at first, he was really despondent about his life. He has always been a really active person and, I suppose, for someone like him who has always been busy, it must be really difficult to adjust to being retired where he has nothing to get up for each day. However, he has recently acquired a job doing
Ground Maintenance and we are all absolutely delighted for him.
Ground Maintenance is absolutely ideal for him to do as he loves working outside in the open air. He has already begun doing his job of
Ground Maintenance and, in his second week at it, he seems like a changed man. Gone is the miserable and depressed looking father we had come to dread seeing as we walked through the door. Instead, he has a real spring in his step and he cannot wait to get up every day to go to work. I must say that it has got me thinking that, as people are living longer and longer these days, it seems unnecessarily harsh to expect them all to stop working at the age of sixty five. Surely it is better for someone to continue actively contributing to society for as long as they feel well and able enough to?
