The Dating Game at 58!
I never dreamed I’d be dating at the age of 58! Quite a few of us find ourselves out the other end of the marital tunnel after age 55, whether by divorce or widowhood. I found the Suddenly Single Scene pretty intimidating, and the thought of navigating the dating world as well made me want […]
What Do You SAY?
What do you say about yourself? What are the words you use most often when you describe your endeavors, or what you may want to do in the future? Do you say things like: “I’m going to run for a political office next year, and I think I have a good chance of winning!” Or, […]
The Great Outdoors is Good For You!
“Get on outside and play!” How many times did we hear that one as children? I always assumed the command was generated by my skipping wildly in the kitchen, screaming at my brother in the living room, or using a bed for a trampoline. It could even have been for this unthinkable reason: Mom was […]
I WRITE BOOKS!
Just to establish my credentials up front, I come from nowhere, friends. My most intense learning experiences… and some of my most incredible failures, occurred when I lived off the grid in the rough hills of Western Wisconsin, no utilities, survivalist, sustaining myself with resources at hand.

Are These Yours?
Hey, come on! Lighten up. Where I come from, lots of us wear these, especially if we are……say………over 50.

If, on the […]

Let’s Talk About Disease!
No comments? I guess, not……..ugh! No one likes to talk about disease. We just hope we won’t get one, right? However, as our bodies age, the odds are not in our favor unless we change them. Chances are we may come down with, particularly, a lifestyle disease. So what’s that mean? Maybe you don’t want […]
So What’s the Answer to Depression? Huh?
Depression occurs over serious problems we cannot solve.
Down and Dirty Depression
SSorry friends, depression is a normal state of mind in many circumstances. Feeling sad and tired, wanting to sleep constantly, not enjoying social activities, eating too much or too little are all common components of normal depression. Sounds pretty uncomfortable. In fact, depression is considered an illness! Should I take a pill and fix it? […]
Two vital ‘P’ words – Possibilities and Plans
What are your possibilities? Most of us have that good old American work ethic. If you haven’t been inoculated by the age of 50, you are a rare one! Be that as it may, most of us have been forced into production by now. We stay busy every minute of every day. Like hoeing a […]
