To welcome the year right, I’m happy to announce that according to CDC or Centers for Disease Control and Prevention we are now experiencing an all time high in life expectancy! CDC’s press release was made last August 19, 2009. Indeed, it came as great news for seniors since it was reported that age-related deaths have now gone down. The press release also contains interesting facts about death and mortality [...]

We, seniors, are all for restoring our once-green environment and as much as possible, we adapt certain lifestyle adjustments just to keep up with the advocacy. In doing so, we believe that somehow we are alleviating the stress of the human impact which apparently, Mother Nature is not taking it anymore. I say, we can’t blame her! Holidays are one of the occasions when we tend to forget our green [...]

Just a few more winks and we’re officially living under the year 2010! Isn’t it amazing how far we’ve come and how much we’ve accomplished in just a year? It seems like it was only yesterday when we put together our new year’s resolutions for 2009, planted the seeds, see it grow and harvested its fruits for the very first time. Of course, I was talking about money-making ventures which [...]

After Christmas comes New Year and New Years clearly signify deep soul searching and assessment of your life especially what you’ve been doing these past 365 days. From there, seniors are compelled to move on from these things, leave them completely behind and start anew hence New Year’s resolutions! What I love about New Year’s resolutions is that they represent hope and actually looking forward to something. Another thing that [...]

One of the most common practices we seniors usually do during the holidays is reflection. Together with your reflection comes self check. During these times, we try our best to assess what we were able to accomplish and what we missed in our lives. After much deliberation comes planning for the coming year, including short and long term goals. This is done to encourage yourself to always look forward and [...]

Holidays are not only meant for giving gifts and exchanging cards. Along with it comes good food and unhealthy practices. While it’s quite understandable due to the jolliness of it all, we should always remember that keeping healthy still means a lot to an aging body but that doesn’t necessarily mean we must miss out on the fun! By the way, staying healthy is not limited to the physical aspects [...]

So it’s time for Christmas parties and your officemates have just appointed you as the official party organizer, what now? While party organizing may not be new to you—and must be the reason why you were dearly voted by your fellow coworkers—still, it can be quite troublesome to think of new and inventive ways to keep your party rolling. If you think keeping children entertained all throughout a party is [...]

Personally, the greatest place to spend Christmas is right inside your own home with your family and loved-ones gathered together. But, in some cases, Christmas can be the only time to get away from it all, i.e your tiring work and never-ending responsibilities. Because of this, we know how important it can get to find the perfect place to celebrate Christmas and capture that joyful feeling once again. Many seniors [...]

If you have had travels in the past, you would know about the necessary steps you need to take for you to finally board that plane (for international travels, that is). First decision to make is where to go i.e travel destination. It seems that the most preferable destination is the farthest from where you are right now—some exotic place far from anything that will remind you of your obligations, [...]

Even if this post is titled as such, it doesn’t mean that seniors are manipulative people. On the contrary, they are most vulnerable in the hands of predators who are always on the look out for the perfect prey—unfortunately, they see the senior group as one of the easiest to manipulate since most seniors are very trusting in nature. Generally speaking—and sadly enough—manipulation exists everywhere! A senior can find them [...]
