    Do You Like Being Old?

    / 5 Comments

    When asked “Do you like being old?” what would your answer be? As I’ve aged, I’ve become kinder to myself, and less critical of myself. I’ve become my own friend..

    Homemade Hand Sanitizer

    / 14 Comments

    We will show you how to make your own homemade hand sanitizer that works just as well as the store bought types. With it being cold and flu season, many people add hand sanitizer to their shopping lists. Now add in the Coronavirus outbreak, and most of the stores, even Amazon in some instances, are completely sold out of hand sanitizer. Older adults, children and people with compromised immune systems are the ones that are at the greatest risk of not being able to fight off colds, flu and Coronavirus (if they became infected). The best thing we can all do is make sure to wash our hands often! Very…

I personally think these 21 pieces of advice should be for those that are 60+. While I know some will not agree with all of these, I believe everyone will agree with at least one or two of them.
