Be an Empowered Patient
I recently changed my healthcare provider from a naturopath to a “mainstream” PPO medical provider. After a trip to a "regular" MD, I felt I knew more than she did about nutrition and how food affects the body. The one issue I can't hack is better sleep. I thought I'd discuss it with the doctor to see her suggestions. I made it clear medication was NOT going to be my … [Read more...] about Be an Empowered Patient

Be Kind To Those Who Are Hurting
While traveling the social media highway, I encountered many ideas, assumptions, and attitudes about older people, and few of them were positive. The other day, I was disheartened by disrespectful comments directed at an entertainer in his nineties. This remarkable individual stood on stage, microphone in hand, bravely singing the familiar lyrics to a song I've enjoyed for … [Read more...] about Be Kind To Those Who Are Hurting
The Way We Were
Remember when "Casual Friday" began? The actual date doesn't matter. What is important is that it started a downward spiral of all things beautiful and classy.

When What You Love Is Gone
I was listening to Frank Sinatra sing "When Your Lover Has Gone."

It was during a conversation with a friend that I realized there’s more than one way to deny Jesus. And most of us do this every day, without meaning to and without realizing it. Among topics my friend and I spoke of, this … [Read more...] about Denial

Recently, I joined a FaceBook group whose title seemed inviting: Christian Seniors Over 70! I thought, Well, shiver me timbers! Perhaps I have found a group that I can relax in. You know, a place where like-minded older people can sit around the virtual fire, be comfortable in their skin, and praise the Lord, all at the same time! Now, experience with these types of … [Read more...] about Well, Shiver Me Timbers ! I Found A Great Group — Or Did I?
