Hey hey
A very warm welcome to my website. I’m Dougie, founder of getbusyafterfifty.com
I wanted to create a website that helps people maintain purpose in our senior years. Living and embracing these wonderful times we’ve been very fortunate to reach.
I’ve been very fortunate to live a life that’s been full of wonderful experiences. In my earlier years I sailed the seven seas and have taken myself off on exciting adventures around this beautiful planet. Also supporting and fund raising for many charities along the way.
I worked hard for my employers in my early years and worked even harder for my own self employment for the past 30 or so years. Also encountering a great deal of challenges along the way. I have been way up high at times and at other times rock bottom, both in business and in personal health.
In my 50th year I lost my business I had at that time after fighting through the great global financial crash of 2008. And I’m sure if you’re reading this then you may have encountered some challenges of your own at that particular time.
I also found myself fighting off Bilateral Pneumonia and finished the year off with a Heart Attack. Not the best of my years for sure, but I did get through it all, recovered fully and even ran my first marathon two and a half years later.
I have enjoyed life and I am living life at present as fully and as healthy as I possibly can.
WHY I WANT TO HELP PEOPLE
I truly want to reach out to as many people as possible and help them continue to live their lives to the fullest.
I know life throws us curve balls and great challenges at many stages of our lives and we have to find a way through. Sometimes we may lose meaning and find ourselves off to the side of our path longing for a way to re-engage, develop and re-kindle our seemingly lost passions, and even find and embrace new ones.
It may just be to meet new people or how to search new interests.
Or how to get a little more healthy by finding out what things are available to help us in our own areas. Maybe wanting to start or continue eating healthy nourishing diets and understanding why its good for us.
Or just simply furnishing our homely surroundings to make them more calming and pleasurable for us.
My Simple Goal
My goal here at Get Busy After Fifty is to sincerely help you find a great way of enjoying and embracing these senior years. I want to help you meet your goal.
As the line in the movie says “Get Busy Living or Get Busy Dying” {quoted from the movie Shawshank Redemption}
