- Our four seasons that we experience, spring, summer, fall,
and winter, gives us a choice in choosing our favorite. Some
of us favor only one season, while others have two or more
that they enjoy throughout the year.
A new season gives us a time to think about a new personal
chance to focus on our self. Look in the mirror and examine
closely the face staring back at you.
It’s not what it used to be because change is inevitable.
Spring is a time to think about our aging process and what
we can do to regenerate ourselves in maintaining our health
and intellect to interact socially and with more vitality.
It’s no secrete that your lifestyle is the most important
factor in living a long and enjoyable life. First and
foremost what you feed your body is directly responsible for
your health and well being. Eating foods that have
antioxidants to neutralize free radicals is the key to good
health. Remember that quality is more important than
quantity.
Keeping fit through your favorite physical activity program,
whether it’s the gym, fitness centers, or your own exercise
equipment and walking will strengthen your muscles to
enhance your energy and balance.
Staying socially active by keeping in touch with friends,
joining senior groups to interact with new friends is also
beneficial to living a long and full life.
Travel to places where you’ve never been before will widen
your horizon and mind and lead to discovering a new you.
Laughter is one the greatest gift you have been given, use
it. A friend of mine sent me this humorous story, as I
write, I’m still laughing.
After retiring, a man goes to the Social Security office to
apply for Social Security. The woman behind the counter
asked him for his driver’s License to verify his age. He
looks in his pockets and realizes he left it home. He says
“I’m sorry, I left my wallet at home, but I will go and get
it and come back later.
The woman says, “Unbutton your shirt”. So he opens his shirt
revealing his curly silver hair. She says, “That silver hair
on your chest is proof enough for me” and she process his
Social Security application.
When he gets home, he excitedly tells his wife about the
experience he had at the Social Security office. She tells
him, “You should have dropped your pants. You might have
gotten disability too!”
