100 Years of Gardening
It is well known that an outdoor lifestyle with moderate physical activity is linked to longer life. As we age, both seem to become increasingly difficult to manage, given the multitude of responsibilities that life comes with. Time to go and explore nature is a scarce thing, and it is always easier to use that time on other things. For those who cannot get into the wilds to go hiking, gardening is an excellent alternative. It offers a routine of work and daily low-intensity physical activity.

Over the Hill, or Under Appreciated?
Over the Hill or Under Appreciated? Senior citizens, retirees, the elderly, the golden years, grandparent, etc. Do these terms bring to your mind a particular stereotype? Do you picture walkers and wheelchairs, grey hair and wrinkles, a burden on family and society, expendable or unnecessary? For a moment, I want you to instead picture these adjectives for the group of people I have mentioned; active, experienced, wise, knowledgeable, reliable, needed, wanted and appreciated. I am a single woman over 60, and sometimes I feel I am being put in a box with those negative descriptions. I am not just a senior citizen; I am an active and vital part of my family and my community. For many senior citizens, these years can mark the beginning of a new chapter in their lives that will enrich not only themselves, but the very world that would label them as unnecessary.
