Seniors 101
WELCOME SENIORS…
How
fortunate you are to have arrived at this stage of your life
because you have had multiple opportunities to discover just
how powerful you can be.
As a
senior, you have been blessed to have many situations in
which you experienced your own guidance speaking to you
(perhaps on the road, in a dream or while working at your
desk or in your office). If you have chosen to listen to
this guidance, you have discovered how it has significantly
impacted your life.
You
are powerful in so many ways, despite a body that feels like
it may be slowing down. Your Knowing that you Know (your
intuitive wisdom) improves with age, like a fine bottle of
wine.
And,
as you become aware of your gifts of Knowing, you may have
noticed how much more confident and empowered you feel. You
may also find yourself soothed and comforted by such
experiences, enabling you to feel that you may not be alone
on this journey called life.
I
welcome you here by offering you information, stories,
anecdotes, humor and wisdom, all of which are intended to
assist with improving your mind, body and soul and
enhancing your quality of life. I also wish to invite you
to write and share your extraordinary experiences and wisdom
so that we may share this with one another, and, in this
way, empowering all of us.
Let's
grow old together!
I wish
you Blessings of Warmth and Much Love,

Gifts from George Carlin's Perspective:
The older we are, the more truth we find in the following piece
borrowed from the internet and written by the one and only
George Carlin…Enjoy his humor, his wisdom and his tips for
ageing well.
George Carlin's Views on Aging
Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like
to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years
old, you're so excited about ageing that you think in
fractions.
'How old are you?' 'I'm four and a half!'
You're never thirty-six and a half. You're four and a half,
going on five! That's the key
You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You
jump to the next number, or even a few ahead
'How old are you?' 'I'm gonna be 16!' You could be
13, but hey, you're gonna be 16! And then the greatest day
of your life .... ... You become 21. Even the words
sound like a ceremony. YOU BECOME 21. YESSSS!!!
But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there?
Makes you sound like bad milk! He TURNED; we had to throw
him out.. There's no fun now, you're Just a sour-dumpling.
What's wrong? What's changed?
You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're
PUSHING 40. Whoa! Put on the brakes, it's all slipping
away.. Before you know it, you REACH 50 and your
dreams are gone.
But wait!!! You MAKE it to 60. You didn't think
you would!
So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40,
REACH 50 and MAKE it to 60.
You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70! After
that it's a day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday!
You get into your 80's and every day is a complete
cycle; you HIT lunch; you TURN 4:30 ; you REACH bedtime. And
it doesn't end there Into the 90s, you start going
backwards; 'I Was JUST 92.'
Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you
become a little kid again. 'I'm 100 and a half!'
May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!!
HOW TO STAY YOUNG
1.
Throw out nonessential numbers...
This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry
about them. That is why you pay 'them'
2.
Keep only cheerful friends.
The grouches pull you down.
3.
Keep learning.
Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever.
Never let the brain idle. 'An idle mind is the devil's
workshop.'
And the devil's name is Alzheimer's.
4.
Enjoy the simple things.
5.
Laugh
often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.
6.
The tears happen.
Endure, grieve, and move on.. The only person, who is with
us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are
alive.
7.
Surround yourself with what you love
, whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants,
hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.
8.
Cherish your health:
If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it.
If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.
9..
Don't take guilt trips.
Take a trip to the mall, even to the next country; to a
foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.
10.
Tell the people you love that you love them,
at every opportunity.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER
:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,
but
by the moments that take our breath away.
We all need to live life to its fullest each day!!
