Aging with grace and beauty. Embrace age with aging advice, tips, and tricks.
Lost and found
To some extent this is about getting older. A time when you can start to forget if you took your pills or not. You can’t for the life of you find where you stored the hand blender. You can’t remember to whom you lent the paint mixer. A time when the mind starts to go and you have to adapt. I started writing notes in my little black book. A nice gift I received for Christmas. Mostly to-do notes. An occasional drawing. Lots of math from the market where I sell many varieties of fresh cut flowers. And a new bad habit. All my passwords. And phone numbers. My client list and recent orders. Email addresses. It makes this little black book important and I take it everywhere. It’s not a diary but I can kind of read between the lines of my to-do lists and extract a journal of sorts. Sometimes I leave myself little notes in the tiniest of script. They are mostly self improvement notes. You know the kind. I will be less controlling. That sort of thing. Or I copy inspirational quotes. It’s quiet now so I’m going through the pages at a slower rate. It’s winter and it’s Covid lockdown. And I am bored.

Wealth
When I was young, much younger than I am now; when my hair was still brown, I bought a notebook. I paid the lady at the checkout, and instead of keeping my change, bought a lottery ticket. And that, dear reader, was the only lottery ticket I have ever bought.

Aging Awkwardly
Lately, I have all but stopped looking in the mirror, and a one-time snap and post selfie has turned into twenty before I have the nerve to post the final filtered version. What is with those crow’s feet? Have they gotten so pronounced that Botox doesn’t work anymore? And, oh my god, what happened to my neck? Let’s not even think about letting someone see me naked. It’s a good thing I’m single. I even hide myself from myself. I do not look in the mirror until I at least have a towel wrapped around me. When did this happen?

Things To Consider If Suffering From The Menopause
When women reach a certain age, they will begin to go through the menopause. This means that they will stop having periods and will no longer be able to become pregnant naturally. Periods often begin to become less frequent a few months or years before they stop altogether. The menopause is a natural part of life and usually happens between the ages of forty five and fifty five years of age. This is the usual time when a woman's oestrogen levels begin to decline. In the UK, the average age for a woman to reach the menopause is 51.

Angharad
1. Angharad’s default setting was Seething Resentment. It had taken her years to cultivate this particular emotional state and now it was set firm in the very lines of her face. This mode was occasionally supplanted by a more active and conscious mode of Bitter Disappointment when her thoughts would focus in forensic detail on the years wasted on her silent husband and ungrateful children.

Aging: What are the Expectations vs. Reality Factors
When it Comes to Aging: What are the Expectations vs. Reality Factors? “A human being would certainly not grow to be 70 or 80 years old if this longevity had no meaning for the species to which he belongs. The afternoon of human life must also have a significance of its own and cannot be merely a pitiful appendage to life’s morning.” ~Carl Jung

Who Qualifies for Hospice Care
Hospice care has a vital role to play at the late stage of a patient’s life who is suffering from a terminal illness. The patient and their family will get to benefit from the services and support hospice care provides. By identifying when a patient is eligible for hospice early on, there is a higher likelihood that the patient and their families will avoid from getting hospice care too late and benefit from what this end-of-life care has to offer.

Call Me a "Senior"
Oh, the conundrum that is “age.” Growing up, I adhered to the notion that “age is just a number.” All my life, my circle of friends has spanned all ages. I am a gregarious sort who finds it easy to connect with people, as they, in turn, seem to do with me. Maybe because I refuse to assume that a person is “this way, or that way,” because of the year they were born. I’ve always thought that way of thinking is utter bullshit.
