Las aficiones en la jubilación cambian vidas (una historia real)

Manuel had been a plumber his whole life. He retired eagerly, but soon after, he lost his wife, and he began to fade away: he isolated himself at home, without hope, without any desire for anything. I met him at a senior center, and this is the story of how an old saxophone he had forgotten about gave him back his zest for life. I'm telling you this true story because it encapsulates something I've seen many times: when someone rediscovers a hobby that made them happy in their youth, they don't just rediscover a pastime. They rediscover a routine, they rediscover the people around them, and they rediscover a part of who they were. And that, after retirement, changes everything.
