Hi Fellow Seniors,
I am told that age wise, the new 70 is the old 50 and I can believe that. I know that I don’t feel old and I’m 75. I may not have the strength and endurance that I once had but I feel great and most days I feel as good as or better than I felt at 50 and 55. Now I know that this is a blessing available to most seniors if we but take good care of ourselves. But we must exercise our bodies and our minds, eat right and stay in touch with friends and with what is going on in the world.

Hi Folks,
I can tell you from experience that retirement isn’t always what it’s cut out to be.
Some days it’s great being retired. Other days we wonder what the heck we’re doing and what we’re supposed to be doing. The dynamics of aging and retirement have changed so much over the past few years that it’s difficult getting our arms around being a senior. Shoot, we can’t even agree on when “senior” begins! 65? I don’t think so.

Hi Folks,
I’m just back from morning exercise with my senior’s exercise group. . . I thought I was going to die! 
After missing so many days due to cataract surgery, Christmas/New Years break, and snow days I am so out of shape. I have a great treadmill and lots of room to exercise at home but I still found plenty of excuses to goof off. So I’m back to being Mr. Softee. Shame on me. And it will take me a lot longer to bounce back than when I was younger, especially now that it’s winter and I spend a lot of time sitting.

Hi Folks,
How are you doing with all this Social Networking stuff?
Some of my senior friends think social networking is meeting at IHOP for lunch, some say they will stick to email and others are venturing into the wonderful(?) world of Facebook and Twitter.
I am on Facebook but I don’t do much with it. Frankly I haven’t taken the time to learn what Facebook is all about and I haven’t figured out why there has to be a special language just to talk about it and Twitter. I guess I’ll have to spend time with a good Facebook book. :-)

Hi Folks,
Do you have a Facebook page or are you one of the millions of seniors that keep promising themselves to see what the excitement is all about?
Shoot, they have even made a movie about Mark Zuckerberg and the founding of Facebook so we at least owe it to ourselves to check out this phenomenon that has over 500 million subscribers. Hint – it’s a great way to share lives with your kids, grand-kids and friends.
