Several years ago, my daughter told me that my grandson "Bill"  had a girlfriend," Mary," but he was reluctant to tell me about it because Mary was older than he was. Bill was aware that in our unyielding horse and buggy culture, a man is supposed to be older than a woman. Isn't it amazing that in our "anything goes" world,  we still give chronological age the power to rule … [Read more...] about The Angst And Agony Of Disobeying Society’s Age Rules

When I was working and coaching people on yearly business planning, it was so daunting to look at a 12-month plan and even more daunting to imagine sticking to it. People would get excited about the project, and at the same time, they wanted to give up because imagining the result in 365 days was overwhelming.

One of my mentors shared with me the "90-Hustle". That … [Read more...] about 5 Step Formula to Make Anything Happen

As we walk, stomp, step, glide, and stride into 2023, we must not lose our resolve to utilize and share any resources that advocate intentional and informed ways of aging. Unfortunately, rather than approaching our latter years in a willy-nilly, "catch as catch can" fashion leaves us open to those age genies who would like to dictate when, where and how we … [Read more...] about We Have More Important Issues To Complain About — Just Ask Me

I feel sorry for Joe Biden. He is constantly nagged about his age, and I get it. Yes, he shows signs of senility, but his chronological age is not responsible for his mental decline. If that were true,  all of us who have reached and passed age  80 should be in the same deplorable condition. However, your age does have some value that doesn't relate to your mental or … [Read more...] about Living For The Future

I would say most, if not all, processed food has some added sugar. I'm good about reading labels, and I always find those hidden "ose" sweeteners that great food adds to food to make food taste better. From jarred applesauce to catsup and jarred spices, you'll find the dreaded "ose's"  in our food. A few "ose'" examples are Dextrose, Fructose, Galactose, Glucose, … [Read more...] about Why Is It Critical to Control Blood Sugar

Recently, in our Senior Scribblers Zoom meeting, I made some reference to my being a low-vision person, and when no one asked questions or mentioned it, I wondered for a moment if I had done the right thing. 

These kind people in Franklin, Massachusetts, allow me to participate in a weekly romp in literary joy with my peers. I mean, what could be nicer? We share our … [Read more...] about I’m Losing My Sight But I Have Divine Illumination

Ever had to unplug your modem to clear the cable transmission? That’s one way to look at what my experiences have been since the second week in December 2022.

It started when I asked God if there was something He wanted me to do. I was serious but not intense about this query. Well... He answered with, “Turn off your TV for one week and see what happens.” So I did. … [Read more...] about I Got Disconnected

After a few decades on earth, our bodies begin to wear down. They are not perfect, and I guess we have Eve to thank for that, but we're left to deal with it. Bit by bit, "stuff happens." When it does, our first move is to wait to see if "it" goes away, hoping it won't become severe enough to require another trip to the doctor's office or a call for a drug. Or worse. We … [Read more...] about Heal Yourself Without Drugs And Procedures

Having lived as long as I have, one thing I've learned is that the government, with its long arm of bureaus and regulatory agencies, is not our friend. In my view, the government and its entities exist to tax us, restrict and control our lives, and amass as much power as possible. The government micro-management of pharmacists and doctors is a good example.
