Don’t get upset about wrinkles: they’re just foreshadowing!

Coming of Age…All Over Again: The Ultimate Midlife Handbook
Just going through a little trivia that I have collected over the years and I have a question for you…
Do you remember what Oscar-winning actress played Janet?
What appealed most to you and what if anything would you change about the character if you could??
“According to the Optical Laboratories Association (an eye-wear industry trade association), people go to the sunglasses counter with two questions in mind: “How will the glasses look?” and “Are they dark enough?” You do need to consider these things, but other concerns come into play as well.
Do sunglasses really protect your eyes?
Yes. Think of them as sunscreen for the eyes. They shield your eyes from wind, dust, and drying, as well as UV (ultraviolet) rays, visible light, and glare. Many experts think that lifetime exposure to UV helps cause cataracts and other eye disorders, though there is some controversy about …read more
Well, as you are reading this, I’m in Port Charlotte, Florida and I’m still on vacation. I have about another week so I’m still awfully happy to be soaking up this gorgeous weather. But I have five more things to be especially happy about. Here goes…
1. I have my own pool to play in. I’m thinking strongly about looking for a way to stuff it in the trunk and bringing it home with me.
2. I have gone shopping just about every single day since I have been down here.
3. I love Margarita Tuesdays at Chilis. Going to really miss those!
4. …read more

Inside every older person is a younger person wondering what happened. ~Jennifer Yane
Kind of the same thing when you look at an old photo of yourself. You still remember yourself as being 25 and suddenly a 50 year old is looking back at you. Makes no sense that your mind doesn’t age with your body!

Thinking out loud here… I’m not sure I like the idea of practicing Yoga for someone with an aching back, but after reading the short article I think that I know where I went wrong.
I did not use a group session like the women in the study. I tried following a video, so chances are, I was not in the proper position and only made my back pain worse. I swore that I would never do Yoga again… but maybe if I found a group to join, maybe I could learn how to strengthen my back?? And if I …read more

The secret to staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly and lie about your age… Lucille Ball.
The age part… I wonder just how much you could lie and get away with it?? Taking off ten years sounds like a nice round number.

“Trans fats occur naturally in small quantities in meat and dairy products from ruminants. Most trans fats consumed today, however, are industrially created through partial hydrogenation of plant oils and animal fats — a chemical process developed in the early 1900s and first commercialized as Crisco in 1909.
Unlike other fats, trans fats are neither required nor beneficial for health.[1] Eating trans fat increases the risk of coronary heart disease.[2] For these reasons, health authorities worldwide recommend that consumption of trans fat be reduced to trace amounts. Trans fats from partially hydrogenated oils are generally considered to be worse than those …read more

I just finished writing a post about teens and drinking, so I thought that it was only fair that I do the same for us. We don’t have to worry about the age thing anymore… I wish, but we do have to think about the empty calories and the damage to our waistlines. Here’s what I came up with…
Learn to say no at parties. As long as it isn’t a Margarita, I’m good. If someone is handing out Margaritas, then I’m in trouble, but back to the topic. There is no reason why you can’t enjoy a party with a …read more

The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another’s desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together.

And I wouldn’t trade even one of the “little band of characters” that make up my family.
