Well, since you've discovered some the benefits of being a "senior citizen" suppose you get back to exercise so that you can live long enough to enjoy them.
Particularly the camping, horseback riding and hiking, some things we did in June at Estes Park. We hiked, hiked and hiked. Have to be in good shape for that. We lived in a tent for a week...no one told us that although the camp grounds had running cold water and flush toilets, there were no shower facilities....oh well. We were able to find 'pay' showers in Estes Park (connected to a laundry of all places) plus after horseback riding at the YMCA camp, we had showers there.....after being out on a horse for 3 hours, we needed them.
Two of our party of 9 (3 tents), were McDonald's addicts and the highlight of their day was when we drove into Estes Park and stopped at Micky D's. (they give senior discounts on coffee, dont'cha know) Our 13 year old granddaughter remarked that "if I NEVER see another McDonald's again it'll be too soon!)
If you enjoy golf, tennis, jogging or any other sport ....GET OUT THERE AND DO IT!
At this moment, you are the youngest you will be for the rest of your life. Don't waste it!
So You're finally a Senior Citizen - Part 2
Jack LaLanne - the Godfather of Fitness
This blog was written several years ago but I wanted to remind you of Jack LaLanne...the American fitness guru who died Sunday, January 23, 2011 at his home in Morrow Bay, California of respiratory failure due to pneumonia. He was 96 years old.
Jack LaLanne, born Francois Henri LaLanne on September 26, 1914 in San Francisco, California, the son of French immigrants is an American fitness, exercise and nutritional expert, celebrity, lecturer and motivational speaker. He admits that as a child he was addicted to sugar and junk foods. He was very troubled as a teenager and prone to rages.
However, a
t age 15 he heard a talk on health and nutrition which was simple but had a powerful influence on the troubled boy. He decided to focus on his diet and exercise habits, concentrating on bodybuilding and weightlifting, which in the 1930s, was uncommon. Jack gained worldwide renown for his success as a bodybuilder as well as his prodigious feats of strength. He had planned to become a chiropractor, but in 1936 decided to open his own health spa (gym) and encouraged clients to better themselves through weight-training.
He designed the first leg extension machines, pulley machines using cables and weight selectors which are now standard in the fitness industry. He also encouraged women to lift weights (in spite of the fact that at that time, it was thought that this would make women look masculine and unattractive.)
Between 1951 and 1984, LaLanne presented fitness and exercise advice on television. “The Jack Lalanne Show” was the first ever television program devoted to exercise Critics said the show would be off the air in six weeks, but it lasted 34 years.
After his TV show ended, LaLanne remained in the public eye with a series of fitness stunts, usually performed on his birthday. In 1955, he swam from Alcatraz to San Francisco, while wearing handcuffs.
In 1991, for his 70th birthday, he swam a mile while shackled to 70 boats carrying 70 people. Now in his 90s, LaLanne is still in excellent health. He says he has not missed a day of workouts -- or had a sugary dessert -- since 1930. He still appears on television, selling his Jack LaLanne Power Juicers.
At age 93, he continued to work out every morning for two hours. He spent one and a half hours in the weight room and a half an hour in the pool. Jack and his wife, Elaine, age 80, live in Morro Bay, California. "I don't care how old I live", he says, "I just want to be living while I am living!"
In a 2004 interview, at the age of 90, he said he has "an active sex life"
Old Age is a gift!
OLD AGE IS A GIFT
Submitted by Charlene L.
Omaha, NE
I am now, probably for the first time in my life, the person I have always wanted to be. Oh, not my body! I sometime despair over my body, the wrinkles, the baggy eyes, and the sagging butt. And often I am taken aback by that old person that lives in my mirror (who looks like my mother!) but I don’t agonize over those things for long.
I would never trade my amazing friends, my wonderful life and my loving family for less gray hair or a flatter belly.
As I’ve aged, I’ve become more kind and less critical of myself. I’ve become my own friend. I don’t chide myself for eating that extra cookie or for not making my bed or for buying that silly cement gecko that I didn’t need, but looks so “avant garde” on my patio. I am entitled to a treat, to be messy, to be extravagant. I have seen too many dear friends leave this world too soon - before they understood the great freedom that comes with aging.
Whose business is it if I choose to read or play on the computer until 4 AM and sleep until noon?
I will dance with myself to those wonderful tunes of the 60’s & 70’s, and if I, at the same time, wish to weep over a lost love…. I will.
I will walk the beach in a swim suit that is stretched over a bulging body, and will dive into the waves with abandon if I choose to—despite the pitying glances from the jet set. They, too, will get old.
I know I am sometimes forgetful. But there again, some of life is just as well forgotten. And I eventually remember the important things.
Sure, over the years my heart has been broken. How can your heart not break when you lose a loved one or when a child suffers, or even when somebody’s beloved pet gets hit by a car?
But broken hearts are what give us strength and understanding and compassion. A heart never broken is pristine and sterile and will never know the joy of being imperfect.
I am so blessed to have lived long enough to have my hair turning gray and to have my youthful laughs be forever etched into deep grooves on my face. So many have never laughed and so many have died before their hair could turn silver.
As you get older, it is easier to be positive. You care less about what other people think. I don’t question myself anymore. I’ve even earned the right to be wrong.
So, to answer your question, I like being old. It has set me free. I like the person I have become. I am not going to live forever, but while I am still here, I will not waste time lamenting what could have been, or worrying about what will be. And I shall eat dessert every single day (if I feel like it)
May our friendship never come apart especially when it’s straight from the Heart! May you always have a rainbow of smiles on your face and in your heart forever and ever!
SURVIVING THE 1930's, 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's!!
A friend emailed this to me. Wow, I was born in the 1930s and can remember doing most if not all of the dangerous things mentioned. Even putting my children to sleep on their tummies and letting the toddler stand between Daddy and I as we drove down the street.
TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED THE 1930's, 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's!!
First, we survived being born to mothers who may have smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant.
They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can and didn't get tested for diabetes.
Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-base paints.
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, locks on doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we wore baseball caps not helmets on our heads.
As infants and children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, booster seats, seat belts or air bags. Riding in the back of a pickup truck on a warm day was always a special treat.
We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle.
We shared one soft drink with four friends, sipping from one bottle and no one actually died from this.
We ate cupcakes, white bread, real butter and bacon. We drank Kool-aid made with real white sugar. And, we weren't overweight.
WHY? Because we were always outside, playing...that's why!
We would leave home in the morning and play all day......coming home when the streetlights came on.
No one was able to reach us all day. And, we were O.K.
We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.
We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's and X-boxes. There were no video games, no 150 channels on cable, no video movies or DVD's, no surround-sound or CD's, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet and no chat rooms.
WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!
We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents.
We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.
We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games with sticks and tennis balls and, although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes.
We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them.
Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment.
Imagine that!!
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!
And, if we got in trouble in school, we'd be in MORE trouble when we got home. The teachers were the boss, and our parents made sure we knew it.
These generations have produced some of the best risk takers, problem solvers and inventors ever.
The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.
We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all. If YOU are one of them ........ CONGRATULATIONS!
You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated so much of our lives for our own good.
While you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave and lucky their parents were.
Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn't it ?
Buying insurance -- Necessary at any age
Yep, I’m a senior…
When I say I’m a senior, I don’t mean in high school or college. I am a senior in life.
My husband just celebrated his 72nd birthday so I guess its time to start thinking about the pros and cons of long term care insurance. I am Mrs. Cheapskate…any way to save money on senior health insurance or senior health care will get my attention. Actually, I’ve never liked thinking about insurance….the only way YOU come out ahead is to die. 
My friend, who has more money than George W. Bush has a long term care and a burial insurance policy . Actually, she doesn’t need an insurance policy, she has more than enough to get buried like royalty, but her accountant said she needed additional insurance in case she, for some reason, ended up in a nursing home or needed help with Medigap plans. According to him, her small fortune in stocks, bonds and savings would dwindle down to a pittance.
Ugh, this is not a subject that makes me happy…..so, I’ll just stop writing and go read a book! We have the new Harry Potter one (gift for granddaughter) …she won’t mind if I read it first.
Genealogy
GENEALOGY AND WHY WE DO IT
I thought I would share this with all of you. For if you are reading this then you are the Storyteller. Enjoy as I did.
We are the chosen. My feelings are in each family there is one who seems called to find the ancestors. To put flesh on their bones and make them live again, to tell the family story and to feel that somehow they know and approve. To me, doing genealogy is not a cold gathering of facts but, instead, breathing life into all who have gone before.
We are the storytellers of the tribe. All tribes have one. We have been called, as it were, by our genes. Those who have gone before cry out to "Tell our story". So, we do.
In finding them, we somehow find ourselves. How many graves have I stood before now and cried? I have lost count. How many times have I told the ancestors
"you have a wonderful family, you would be proud of us" 
How many times have I walked up to a grave and felt somehow there was love there for me? I cannot say.
It goes beyond just documenting facts. It goes to who am I and why do I do the things I do? It goes to seeing a cemetery about to be lost forever to weeds and indifference and saying I can't let this happen.
The bones here are bones of my bone and flesh of my flesh. It goes to doing something about it. It goes to pride in what our ancestors were able to accomplish. How they contributed to what we are today. It goes to respecting their hardships and losses, their never giving in or giving up, their resoluteness to go on and build a life for their Family. 
It goes to deep pride that they fought to make and keep us a Nation. It goes to a deep and immense understanding that they were doing it for us. That we might be born who we are. That we might remember them. So we do. With love and caring and 
scribing each fact of their existence, because we are them and they are us. So, as a scribe called, I tell the story of my family.
It is up to you, the next generation to answer the call and take my place in the long line of family storytellers.

I Don't Like Getting Old!
I had just about reconciled myself to the fact that I will turn 75 in April. OK, I can live with that....at least I'm alive and still doing most of the things that I love to do. I'll never make it to the top of Mt. Everest or try my hand at sky diving, but they were never at the top of my wish list anyway.
What I DON'T like are the miscellaneous body aches that seem to be occuring with more and more frequency. For the past week I have been hurting...I think it is sciatica, a problem I had five years ago when I herniated a disk. I had surgery for that and it more or less didn't bother me. However, now I have the same pain as I did before, but with less intensitity.
I feel like I have a burning band running down the back of my right leg, starting at the cheek and ending at the ankle. My lower back is stiff and painful, and it hurts to sit for longer than 15 or 20 minutes. (I have a goodly amount of "padding" on my backside, but it feels like I'm sitting on bare bone).
I have been munching aspirins several times a day but feel it's time to grit my teeth, make an appointment and visit my doctor.....I have a high pain tolerance, but this is getting rediculous.
So You're finally a Senior Citizen - Part 1
Ok, so now you are really and truly a “senior citizen”….you are 62+ years old, you may be retired but may also still be working…either by choice or necessity.
Lets say that you are at home, typing away on your computer every day….watching the daytime serials (in my day they were called “soap operas”), doing housework or "make work" but not really doing much of anything to keep yourself healthy.
Sorry friend, it's about time you start thinking of that nasty word that nearly everyone avoids ...EXERCISE !! Yes, I know, that’s something you think about doing but do nothing about.
I belong to a fitness center and do my exercises there. I could do them at home, but being with a group at a specified time and place makes it more of a committment. Three days a week I attend a stretch/fitness class.
Our instructor realizes that some of us have physical problems and teaches her class accordingly. We can modify the stretches or exercises to fit our bodies and abilities. We are not practicing to be the “Radio City Rockettes” so we do not have to do things in unison.
Pilates are one of the best exercises for older people….gentle and non-evasive. Contrary to popular belief you don’t have to stand on your head or balance on one leg while singing “I’m a Yankee Doodle Dandy” to be doing Pilates.
Pilates is a system of exercise that, when regularly practiced can improve your flexibility and strength. This exercise is called “toy soldier” and is very easy.
Stand tall with your feet apart and knees soft. Breath in. Reach your left arm to the ceiling and your right arm to the ground. Breath out as you swap arms. Keep your torso still and stretch the top of your head to the ceiling. Keep the speed slow and the action smooth. Repeat 10 times.
See, that wasn't so hard!!
And, did you ever think that someone would have to teach you how to breathe? Bet you think you’ve been doing it all your life. Well, consider your lungs to be a bellows moving in and out.
We normally take short little puffy breaths and NEVER fully expand our lungs. Think of all that dead air just taking up space in the bottom half of your lungs! Some of it could have been there from way back when you smoked your first (and hopefully last) cigarette!
Right now, as you are reading this, sit up straight and take a biggggggg deep breath through your nose, open those air cells way down in the bottom lobs of your lungs and then let it out through your mouth. Do this a couple of times...also very easy. Remember to breath deep at least once or twice a day.
While you’re standing in line at the grocery, bank, sitting in the car waiting for the light to change or the first thing you do before you get out of bed in the morning......lay there and take some deeeeep breaths.....You'll feel ready to start the day…..you’re improving your health!
One more thing while I’m thinking of it. DON’T hold your breath while picking up and carrying something heavy, not even if you are a weightlifter. Holding your breath can result in a stressful increase in blood pressure.
Stages of life...yours and mine
Stages of life
First ~ Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it. (I'm there!)
Second ~ The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for. (how true!)
Third ~ Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people to know "why" I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved. (I agree 100% --except that I do tint my hair--)
Fourth ~ When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think of Algebra. (I flunked algebra)
Fifth ~ You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks. (mainly leaks)
Sixth ~ I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top. (a long climb but I made it)
Seventh ~ One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it is such a nice change from being young. (don't agree with this....I liked being young)
Eighth ~ One must wait until evening to see how splendid the day has been. (memories?)
Ninth ~ Being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable. (like an old shoe?)
Tenth ~ Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today it's called golf (yep)
And finally ~ If you don't learn to laugh at trouble, you won't have anything to laugh at when you are old. (laugh and the world laughs with you --cry and you cry alone)

Beauty Tips with every day products
BEAUTY TIPS using everyday day products.......Some of these beauty tips have been around for a long time....some are surprising, some work and some are "iffy". Bet you remember your mom telling you to put tea bags or cucumbur slices on your eyes!
EYE DROPS will remove redness not only from your eyes but also from red blemishes. Freeze a drop in a spoon then place the frozen liquid over the blemish and hold. It will shrink swelling.
TOOTHPASTE (white paste) will help heal acne breakouts.
JELL-O (cherry flavored powder) — dab a Q-tip into the powder and apply it to your lips. Let the powder sit for 5 minutes then lick it off. This will give your lips a natural red coat.
TOOTHBRUSH AND VASELINE will exfoliate and plump up your lips.
VASELINE added to any eye shadow will make a gel blush or lip stain.
WET/USED TEA BAGS (inexpensive non-herbal) act like a poultice and draw out excess fluids while refreshing and soothing the eye area. The tea contains tannic acid, which is an antioxidant.
RAW POTATO SLICES will take away dark circles under the eyes (potatoes contain potassium).
CUCUMBER SLICES will draw out excess fluids, reducing baggy eyes.
ANBESOL — when tweezing eyebrows, apply Anbesol to them. This will numb the brow area and spare you from the pain.
PARSLEY will help freshen your breath from the inside. Parsley contains chlorophyll, which is found in Certs and Clorets.
WEIGHT LOSS TIP — take two Garlic Tablets and two Papaya Enzymes before every meal. You can lose up to 5 pounds in one week.
HAIR CONDITIONER — instead of shaving cream use hair conditioner to shave your legs. Conditioner will leave them silky and smooth.
BAKING SODA – use 3/4 cup baking soda mixed with ¼ cup water and gently rub for 3 minutes onto the face, then rinse. This is a great, inexpensive exfoliator.
LEMON JUICE will whiten brittle fingernails and will dry up and help get rid of a pimple.
LEMON, LIME, HONEY & YOGURT - Yogurt can lighten age and sun spots. Mix the juice from 1 lemon, 1 lime, 2 tablespoons of honey and 2 ounces of plain yogurt. Massage this mixture into desired spots at least once a week.
CAFFEINE is the main ingredient in those expensive cellulite creams. Your regular caffeinated coffee grounds (used from this morning) can be rubbed into those annoying cellulite areas. Since this can get a bit messy, try doing it in the bathtub or shower.
HERBAL WRAPS are easy to make. Create your own, similar to the ones offered at the expensive spas, by using 1 cup corn oil, ½ cup grapefruit juice and 2 teaspoons of dried thyme. Combine the ingredients and work the mixture into the thigh, hip and butt areas. Cover the areas with a plastic wrap, locking in the heat from your body. To accelerate the results, lay a heating pad for several minutes over the desired areas.
VITAMINS E, A or C capsules (in gel form) from your local drug store, can be used instead of the costly creams that contain these ingredients. Prick open the capsule and add it to your moisturizer. You'll get all the benefits of expensive creams without the extra chemicals or the expense.
HYDROGEN PEROXIDE — apply with a cotton ball. It makes a terrific astringent.
PEPTO BISMOL a great face mask for sensitive skin. The same way it coats and soothes the stomach, it gently caresses the skin. Apply straight from the bottle with a cotton ball. Allow it to dry and rinse with cool water.
VODKA & LEMON will tone up tired skin. Dab ¼ cup Vodka and the juice from one lemon on face, neck and chest area with cotton. It is not necessary to rinse this mixture off. It will evaporate. The less rubbing, the better.
BABY WIPES can be used as a fast and inexpensive way to remove make-up.
MUD MASK/WRAP — combine 1 tablespoon clay (kitty litter, 100% natural clay only, without additives or chemicals) with water to create a muddy paste. Apply to face, let it dry and slightly harden. Then rinse off with warm water and washcloth. It's easy and refreshing and will feel just like those expensive spa mud masks.
SWEET ALMOND OIL will moisturize extra dry skin, help lashes grow and can remove make-up. The oil can also sooth sunburned skin.
CRISCO OIL will remove make-up and moisturize your skin. It can even be used to treat psoriasis and eczema.
To keep your eyes from blinking when applying make-up, try keeping your mouth open. It really works!
To prevent lipstick from getting on your teeth. After applying lipstick and/or gloss, place your finger into your mouth, wrap your lips around the finger and gently pull out your finger in a lollipop motion. The excess lipstick on the inside of your lips will end up on your finger instead of your teeth. Simply wipe it off on a tissue and you're good to go.
After a shower, putting your sports bra on can be a challenge. After toweling off, dust your upper body with a talc such as "Shower to Shower". Although you've toweled yourself dry, you skin is still damp......the talc dries the skin enough for the material to slide easier.
Bubble Bath -- be careful
When my 8 year old granddaughter developed a rash and burning in her pelvic area, we took her straight to her pediatrician.
The first thing she asked was "does she use bubble bath when she takes a bath?" Of course, what little girl doesn't love sitting in a tub of bubbles!
She told us to look at the bubble bath ingredients...."does it have Sodium Lauryl Sulfate listed?"
She then told us that sodium lauryl sulfate is a very strong detergent which is put in many products (see Sodium Lauryl Sulfate ) such as bubble bath to give them lots of foam and bubbles. But it can also burn the skin like diaper rash. Children are most susceptible. However, many of the elderly have sensitive skin and react the same way.
Jenny is older now and prefers showers to baths......but we still try to monitor the types of soap that all of us use.
Sometimes my skin will dry and flake for "no reason".....checked the label and sure enough there's that ole sodium lauryl sulfate.
Many health food stores carry soaps, shampoos and cleaning products.....but even some of the "natural" product contain a foaming ingredient.....unless you've been without a bath for a month, been working in a coal mine or living in the woods all of your life....you DON'T GET DIRTY enough to require something that strong!
Time in a Bottle
Who wouldn't like to "save time in a bottle"....who wouldn't want to go back to a time when all you thought about was playing ball in the park, going to the 10 cent movie, or listening to your favorite stories on the radio.
*
My time would be in 1948 when I was 10 years old. We lived near a park where we spent most of our time....playing "Tag" and chasing each other until we ran out of breath and tumbled onto the ground. No bad guys roamed the streets, parent's didn't worry about children's safety and we all knew that it was time to go home "when the streetlights came on".
My parents, brothers and sister were alive and I remember the fun we had together. We didn't have a television, computers were some big magical machines in a far away office, and we had a telephone that was attached to the wall by a cord. Dinner was at 5:00 in the evening.....and we were expected to be there.
We didn't belong to scheduled leagues of anything. If we played ball, it was in the corner lot, if we played soccar, it was just kicking a ball around in the park.
We grew up loving our country....respecting our flag.....an having no fear of police, just a good healthy respect for their authority.
We also respected our school teachers or feared them enough to behave in class. And if we didn't, if we were in trouble in school, we knew that we'd be in even more trouble when we got home. The only "time outs" we were familiar with were those spent in the school "cloak room".
We had many good friends. Sometimes you fought with them, but the next day you were best friends again. You were your own little community....and your life was good.
So my "time in a bottle" contains memories.....and I'll never forget them.
If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that Id like to do
Is to save every day
Just to spend them with you
If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then,
Again, I would spend them with you
But there never seems to be enough timeTo do the things you want to do
Once you find them
Ive looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go
Through time with
If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory
Of how they were answered by you
But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
Jim Croce sang this song in his 1972 album
Envy??? - Everyone's got a Little
I am not a perfect person.......I know that and I regret it. (well sometimes)
follow all of my doctor's instructions, I do not enjoy children who have been raised with "time outs", I do not love holidays (I tolerate them but not love them), and I have a healthy dose of ENVY!
xury resorts!
obnoxious for children to hear. I am envious of the smirks on their faces because they know they have no talent and are fooling those who buy their photos, disks and tickets to concerts.
This is not the end of my envy complex.....more will come!
