The last pharmacy I worked in was the best job I ever had because I was older than many retired customers and what I learned from them forever changed how I felt about retirement. They told me everything about themselves and the world they lived in. I listened intently, asked questions, and observed. It was a priceless education. I soaked it up like a sponge. I heard many … [Read more...] about How Retirees Shaped My Thoughts About Retirement

I was sitting in the squeaky-clean office of the Walmart Eye doctor as he finished with my extensive exam. I have had an increasingly lousy vision for some time, and I knew he had nothing good to say.  While they are  kind and cordial at the start but  after looking at your results from all angles, there is that set in their shoulders that says, “How do I break it to this poor … [Read more...] about Cheer Up, Bunky; It Could Be Worse

I have spent countless hours and funds on my personal development. I used to be very hard on myself for not putting what I learned into practice (for pay). I realized that everything I … [Read more...] about Time For Self-Care

Now, wait, before you assume that I am a person who incites or participates in social unrest, I am not that woman. Still, I will admit to inciting and encouraging seniors to make (as a worker for justice once said ) “good trouble.” The trouble of a good kind … [Read more...] about Zooming Along Together!

Never in the history of humankind have we had an emergency need to lower blood sugar. The chronic high levels of blood sugar create an epidemic of diabetes and obesity, which lead to other health problems like high blood pressure, high triglycerides, insulin resistance, and insomnia.
