Carnegie wrote in "The Weakness of Human Nature": "Resting is not absolutely doing nothing. Human resting is actually a compensation for certain physical losses."
Most people, when they reach the age of sixty, actually retire and their lives become comfortable. It’s really good to quit the workplace, have a good rest, and be a free person.
In fact, rest is not about being idle or doing nothing, but about combining work and rest, suitable for movement and stillness, enriching and pleasing yourself in daily life.
When you are free, do the following 8 small things to improve your sense of happiness in life and get back all the lost beauty and happy things you don’t have time to do.

First, prepare a weekend reunion dinner to make the family feel hot.
painter Lin Dihuan said: "Happiness is a night with wind and rain, wine and meat, you and me."
During the day, everyone is busy at work. After get off work in the afternoon, I can finally stop and have a good meal with my family. As an old man, although he is a little tired, he will be very happy.
Daily meals will be more careless, but weekend meals should be more serious. There are some "special" every weekend, and the family atmosphere is different. Especially those elderly people who do not live with their children, inviting their children to come to their homes to "visit" them, which brings joy to several generations of family members closer.
Fireworks, three meals a day, two people sit opposite each other, and a family of people drink a glass of wine. Don't be too rigid.

Second, organize old photos and keep beautiful moments. In
, an anonymous netizen said that he accidentally threw away the photo album at home as garbage, and then turned back to the garbage station to search, but found nothing.
On the way home from the garbage station, he wanted to cry very much, and he was really sad.
Many times, what is lost is not a photo, but a feeling, a period of time.
When you are sixty, you take out the old photos and you will find a lot of memories. You will also interact with your family during the sorting process and recall certain moments together.

Third, go out with your wife and pursue poetry and distance.
When you left the workplace, you suddenly felt like a bird in a cage, and finally flew out. But if you stay at home all the time, the "home" will become a cage, making you feel uncomfortable.
" Shawshank's Redemption " writes : "Some birds are destined to be locked in cages. Every piece of their feather shines with the glory of freedom."
and his wife often go out, shopping, watching the scenery, traveling, and wandering around. As you walk and stop, you will find that the relationship between husband and wife has become harmonious. Because the outside world attracted the attention of two people, the way they got along was no longer "gliding with big eyes".
company is not only about sitting opposite each other, but also about walking hand in hand and enjoying each other.
05
Fourth, read a few pages of books every day to make your mind quiet.
One day, my mother said mysteriously: There is a suspense story in "The News of the Lake and Seas" .
Yuanchao , outside the city of Wenzhou , there was a midwife who suddenly heard a knock on the door at night. The midwife opened the door and saw a sedan chair at the door. Obviously, a child is about to be born and the midwife's business is coming.
Surprisingly, the sedan chair is amazingly fast; after delivery, the midwife is quickly sent home overnight. Then, there was a pig's leg and a cow's leg at the door, with traces of a tiger biting on it.
The story of mother made us happy all day. More importantly, my mother actually became noble at that moment, no longer talking about vulgar jokes or nagging about life.
people, you can’t study until you are old. When a person's mental outlook improves, a sense of happiness will naturally surge out of his heart.
06
Fifth, find the advantages of children and encourage them.
Many elderly people like to say things that belittle their children, and at the same time say how good the children of neighbors and relatives are. This is the vicious circle of "people compare themselves to others, they will be angry to death."
Smart elderly people will like their children. Every day, I discover the progress of my children and see the advantages of my children. The old man's eyes will become softer, and there will be no harsh words during family gatherings.
As long as there are flowers in your eyes, there will be fragrance everywhere.
When you are fine, give your children a thumbs up. Although children won’t react very much, they are happy inside. Encouragement is always more powerful than blame.
07
The sixth place is to give the neighbor a smile to show sincerity and friendship.
"Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors". If you treat your neighbors as thorns in your eyes, don't complain about the poor living environment. Maybe the neighbors have done something too much, but you need to be tolerant, not noisy.
For example, if the garbage bag is thrown at the door, it tastes very good. You can remind your neighbors and take the trash away. In doing so, the neighbors are truly educated.
Your smile is the best antidote to solve neighborhood conflicts. If you take the initiative to show your kindness, it will be much easier when you need help from your neighbors in the future. A happy environment is ultimately created by oneself.
08
No. 7, gather with old friends and talk about their worries.
When people get old, they will inevitably feel resentment in their hearts, and they will also have troubles in their families. Therefore, it is necessary to find someone to talk to.
Find a few old friends and say what they say in their hearts, and don’t feel happy if you don’t vomit.
When I was young, I was worried that outsiders would know about "my own scandal". But the communication between the elderly is different. Everyone is very mature, and some bad information will naturally be filtered out. As long as you open your heart and speak, you will feel comfortable and relaxed inside.
Don’t worry too much about anything, but trust old friends. Have a cup of tea, a little wine, and chat casually, which will definitely make you happy.
09
Eighth, forward a message with positive energy to lead the beauty.
In the Internet era, many elderly people are chatting online and forwarding information to their friends circles, relatives groups, etc. However, negative energy information often enters our lives.
Some elderly people were criticized or blocked by friends because they forwarded negative energy information, which made them very upset.
A smart old man who forwards positive information will naturally receive more likes. Moreover, his words and deeds give everyone a feeling of warmth as spring.
There is more sunshine in the Internet, and some will always pour into life.

Carnegie once said: "Where you are interested in is where you are capable."
As you get older, many things you like to do will become dispensable or be covered up by trivial matters.
Therefore, we must find the "what we like, beautiful" and give ourselves a positive attitude.
When you regard finding happiness as a habit, life will naturally be like spring all year round.
People's lives are limited, but their width is infinite.
May you and me put in a lot of effort on the width of life.
