'n Stukkie hartseer
Daar kom lê ewe skielik 'n stuk hartseer in my hart
Jou plek is so lank nou leeg
Jou stem is stil en ek verlang na jou arms om my gevou
Toe kom die son vir my op en laat my hart warm klop
Die webdrade verdwyn en 'n reënboog begin verskyn oor my kop
Herrineringe spoel een vir een verby en vul my leë tye sonder jou
Daar is tyd vir hartseer en 'n tyd vir blydskap,
'n Tyd om na te dink en 'n tyd om stil te word
En baie tyd om God te loof.

Finding New Hobbies After 60
Life after retirement is an exciting time to explore new hobbies and be inspired by new passions. Whether you get in touch with old favorites or discover untapped interests with your partner or your friends, having a hobby is important at every age but especially as we grow older.
This list of ideas might help you connect with a new hobby:
▢ Learn a new language, not only is this a fun way to spend your time, it’s a great
way to give your brain a workout.
▢ Join the Durbanville Bowling club
▢ Baking, start small with baking staples like biscuits and pies.
▢ Take up bird watching, it can be as simple as investing in a good quality bird book
and pair of binoculars at first.
