Why Am I Not Looking Forward To Being 50
49 And Counting Lately, I have noticed more and more how the typical wisdom of the ages has been weighing on my mind. I'm sure that it is the same for many because the numbers are ingrained in us all. From our youths forward we begin to realize the importance of what numbers signify. In this case, I'm talking about the significance of the number 50.

Think Ageism Isn't Your Problem?. Top Story - January 2022.
Ageism is the last “ism” to be recognized In our culture — not just North America, but a whole lot of the developed world — ageism is so ingrained that it’s easy to miss. We’re so used to it that we don’t even see it when it’s right there in front of us.

The Shadows
“Ahhhhhhhhhh,” I screamed. Falling in slow motion, arms stretched out in disparity. Reaching out for something… anything to hold onto. But, there was nothing. Nothing but silhouettes, barely visible against the empty, dark space, the hole, I was evaporating into. Like quick sand, the harder I fought to stay afloat, the quicker I drowned into this pit of nothingness.

The Oarsman
The Oarsman Time is both kind and cruel. It is the one thing that gives us perspective, if spent well it also grants us wisdom, and with both, mercy. But time can also be harsh in its treatment of our bodies and our minds. Time had been gracious to my father in many ways but it had also dealt a blow to his health. As his body slowly shut down, his mind and his imagination seemed to take over. It was almost like what happens to someone who loses a sense (sight or hearing) and the other senses take over and amplify their capabilities to lend a hand. This is what was happening to my dad. He was increasingly chair-ridden, if not bed-ridden. He was old, and he looked older to me during each visit. I never knew exactly what I would find when I came to see him, but during a recent visit, I found my dad as I had hoped to see him, in sound mind and good spirits. He wasn’t the father of my youth - I didn’t like to see him age. It seemed unnatural to me that a strong man would become a weak man, as a factor of time alone. I looked up to him growing up. He was large and strong and smelled like a man. Now, I looked down on him and he looked weak, and he smelled less like a man than I had remembered. “I had a wonderful dream last night”, he said. “You’d be interested in hearing it. You were in it. It all took place at the cottage”. He was right, I was interested. My father was a good story teller and his dreams were notorious nail-biters. In recent months he seemed to live as much through the fantasy world of his dreams as he did through the real world of his decline.

Does Drinking Collagen Work?
The beauty world is a world of trending products and often spurious claims, both from the brands themselves and from the beauty influencers who are paid to market the products. Because of this, we're all becoming a little more careful when it comes to hopping on the latest trend (or at least we should be). These days, the big skincare and anti aging trends are retinol serums and edible or soluable collagen. Proponents of these trends claim that they help us stay looking youthful for longer. Whether this is true is still a matter of debate.
