AND NOW I'M 70!

30/12/2019

Who would have thought that this day would come about and that it would be so full of joy? I know that this has a lot to do with Universal Medicine and the people I’m involved with on the Joy of Ageing Esoterically team. They are so positive and inspiring and they encourage me by their reflection, by their way of living, to be all that I am, can be, and can keep aspiring to be, as I go into my elder years.

BEING RETIRED - A NEW BEGINNING

29/12/2019

Retiring from life, or retiring from work? Many people after a lifetime of work find it hard to adapt and gradually give themselves up to inertia and lack of purpose. Others go in for a life just as busy with alternative activities and volunteering, which keeps them going. Here is an alternative suggestion.

GRACIOUSLY OLDER

31/7/2019

The old lady shuffled her way from her car towards the footpath. But up ahead, there was a step and no pole to lean against to help her up. She looked for a pole for support, slightly concerned, then saw one and turned towards it. We were walking along that footpath a short distance away and saw the old lady’s efforts. My husband stepped forward ‘to the rescue’, striding up and offering her his arm to lean against.

WE ARE AGEING JOYFULLY — LET’S CELEBRATE!

30/6/2019

Ageing Joyfully is easy when you are surrounded by friends who are also ageing joyfully. The joy is compounded when you are also surrounded by younger friends of all ages who do not ‘see’ you as ‘old’ and who allow you to age joyfully! I am fortunate to have both sets of friends.

BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS

29/6/2019

My question to myself this morning was how to maximise a birthday celebration.

Today is my 71st Birthday and I am home alone! It is raining gently outside, which I appreciate after the long hot dry summer.

It feels like a fresh new start to this next cycle.

NO REGRETS – THE KEY TO AGEING JOYFULLY

30/5/2019

When I was growing up the concept of Ageing Joyfully hadn’t made its way to my parents or their social circles. Life had been hard for their generation.
My parents grew up during The Great Depression and consequently were just the right age to be fully engaged in the awful experience of World War 2.

CELEBRATING THE BEGINNING OF MY 88TH CYCLE

30/1/2019

My birthdays just keep getting better and better as each cycle comes and goes! Recently I turned eighty-eight and my birthday celebrations were absolutely awesome. As well as receiving messages from my New Zealand friends, I also received messages from different parts of the world including from a lovely acquaintance in Nova Scotia and I enjoyed two very special outings.

AGEING BEAUTIFULLY BY MAKING SELF-LOVING CHOICES

30/12/2018

Ten years ago I would never have considered that ageing beautifully was something that I would feel; ageing and beautiful were two words that I would never have put together. I rarely made any self-loving choices and, at the time I was twenty kilos overweight and feeling the effects of a body that was starting to show signs of ageing.

HOW I SAVED A LIFE!

29/11/2018

Eighteen months ago I saved a life. It was not an easy task and I had to call on all my skills and knowledge  to make it happen. Faced with the serious situation I found that I was calm and very focused and strong. Where all that came from, I’ve no idea except to say that what I have learned about myself has been both humbling and powerful.  No, I am not a hero, you see the life I saved is my own.

AGEING IN TODAY'S SOCIETY – WE ARE LIVING LONGER, BUT ARE WE LIVING WELL?

29/9/2018

I recently read that in 2050 there will be more people worldwide aged sixty and over than children under sixteen for the first time in history. Longer life spans are on the increase; however, most people are simply living their elder years in poor health, often medicated, rather than living with vitality and joy. I have personal experience of how health pans out in the elderly as my mother is 88 years old and has Alzheimer's disease.
