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.

I'll … [Read more...] about Would You Go To A 100-Year-Old Doctor?

Life is simple, but we do everything possible to make it hard. We tend to live exclusively in the past or become fortune tellers about the future. So why can't we live in the present moment? For most people, it's tough to do. I have asked people if they can stay in the present moment; most people don't understand the concept. They can't keep their mind from thinking about … [Read more...] about Why Do We Make Life So Hard?

I was heading down the main hallway of our building to check on mail when I heard familiar voices. I dug my heels into the carpet with screech-like movements and began moonwalking in the opposite direction. 

Good thing I was still behind the wall and not in full view of the voices I recognized very well. I refer to them as the "Achy-Breaky" ladies. They are the … [Read more...] about Are You An “Achey-Breaky” Lady?
