Many of my friends and followers on social media have asked me about future plans approaching my 90th birthday on April 27th, 2022.
For me this is a very hard question because I have experienced so much in my life. Some experiences have been blessings while others have been painful lessons.
After careful thinking, these plans are in place for daily agenda:
First of all I want to keep moving as long as my health will allow. Getting up, getting dressed and showing up is my biggest plan.I want to share each day with people face-to-face or on-line because isolation leads to
loneliness and depression.
Secondly, selfcare is important. If you feel good, you look good, if you look good you do good. Exercising the mind with jigsaw puzzles is both intertaining and keeps the brain sharp.Taking walks is the number one way to keep moving and
not get all stoved up.
Eating plans are included because it is important to keep the weight down, feed the body the things needed to keep the body in balance. But remind myself that a little chocolate or ice cream won't hurt once in a while.Older people tend to get
dehydrated so drinking water and eating things like cucumbers, watermelon and yes, even popcyles will keep the organs from shutting down.
Smile because it attracts positive people. Smile because it might be the only kind act a person might receive. It also lets people know you are home and doesn't cost anything.
Reading books, tutorials, and watching television is a great way to keep up with the community, state, and world around us. Awareness is a way to never lose sight of what is going on around us.
Last but not least, communicating, caring and sharing is my ultimate plan. I plan to use my computer skills to communicate my thoughts, share good thoughts, and art work. I plan to use my computer skills to volunteer and
promote messages on social media. I will continue crochet and knit items for charity, and share my joy of painting with others.
