Aging Isn’t For Wimps
No matter what age we are, our hearts matter. Of course, we go to the doctor for our palpitations, flutters, and pains, but what about our inner man/woman? That part of us that seizes up or shudders now and then when we feel confronted with some physical task or challenge?
We can laugh, or we can cry.
Or we can prepare for the challenges ahead. Where are you feeling the need for change? Has your doctor recommended a new diet? Do you need to be more serious about doing morning stretches? Maybe a walk in nature will help soothe your cares.
Aging isn’t for wimps, and we are not wimps. There are adventures ahead!
Inspiring Our Grandchildren

Longevity 101
There is a joke that says, "Don't make old people mad because we don't like being old in the first place!" That is an understatement! Retirement might be great because of getting time to do what we want to do. We can travel, pursue new hobbies or spend time with old...
Aging and Relationships
One great thing about aging is we are finally aware of what really matters, and we can stop the façade we kept up to impress or advance in our worlds. Building our little kingdom doesn’t seem as important as building solid relationships and being “real.” The quality...
New Normal
It’s been fifteen months, and things are opening up, and we are feeling our life get back to normal. Some want to call it the “new normal.” I’m not sure what that means, but I am guessing it has to do with what is going on in our government, masks, vaccines,...
Slo-o-o-o-ow Aging
Cutting-edge science is now saying that your outlook can change how you age—at the cellular level. What does that mean? Your moods and thoughts influence your physiology. We've heard it for years. Relax, and your blood pressure goes down, emerge from depression, and...
Is It Aging or Ignorance?
Things about aging I haven’t thought about until now, that make me aware I'm aging…… I have prided myself on not being on any medications. My list of drugs doctors ask for is a multivitamin for women over 50. That’s it. As I talked to more and more women my age, I...
Never Too Late
I just came from a meeting with someone talking about our age group and how we feel forgotten. There is lots of recognition for a child prodigy, and well, there should be. It is impressive to watch a young child’s fingers dance over the keys of a piano with seeming...

Not Stodgy, Innovative
We are not too old to learn new tricks, new ways of expressing ourselves, new avenues of creativity. You have to admit it took some creativity to get this old….whatever age. Many people have felt that writing, painting, even some sporty activities were out of their...
Being Creative
We may have been told over our lifetime that creativity is for the few greats like Beethoven, Monet, or the likes. Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman told TIME in an interview that creativity is a state of mind----an attitude you can bring to any task or project. I want to add...
