Aging in Style—5 Considerations
Old age is something that will happen to us all – if we’re lucky. There’s nothing sad or bizarre about this kind of thinking. After all, old age is beautiful as it literally represents a life lived. However, even though you may still be far from old age, it’s important to prepare yourself for the time when you won’t be as young anymore. This doesn’t mean that you have to stress or worry, but simply deal with certain issues, develop healthy habits and mindset and/or inform people close to you about your wishes in general.

8 Ways Seniors Can Take Care of Their Mental Health
After a busy and fast-paced life, when the children have finally settled down and you are getting into the groove of retirement living, it’s a usual occurrence among seniors to feel isolated and alone. This is a normal reaction to the idea of growing old, and at least 1 to 5 percent of seniors who live independently will go through depression because of this.

The Perils of a Slip and Fall
It happens in a split second—a rustling, a yelp, a crash—and before you know it, your loved one is on the floor, unable to get up. At least that's what happened to my 83-year-old grandpa.

True Innovation for Good (Part 1)
Introduction More than anything else I have ever written, this article is deeply personal for me. Very personal. When my dad, Barry Wyld, passed this past January from Alzheimer's Disease, he had fought “the good fight” for over a decade. With my mom by his side every step of the way, and through every phase of his mental and physical decline, the health and stress toll on her was considerable. As for myself, I must say that my dad’s long journey into the night has affected me deeply—and changed my perspective on a whole lot of things.

Dementia Doesn't Mean Demented
"So you think I’m crazy?" It was shortly after my husband was diagnosed with vascular dementia that he had another minor stroke. He had just turned 71 but you wouldn't guess that by his smooth complexion that hardly had a wrinkle. One thing I loved about him was his sense of humor so when he said to me, “So you think I’m crazy now!” I thought he was kidding except for the tone of his voice.

The Hill
This Side of the hill... This morning I read something that made me howl with laughter. A woman in her 40s was writing about how she intended to turn her back on a steady job and embrace her dreams... Nothing even vaguely amusing so far. Until the line "after all when I’m 65 I’ll be too old to do anything but exist." (This won’t seem remotely funny to anyone under 65, but to me, 4 years on from being too old to do anything but exist, well, it’s just hilarious.)

Longevity: Why I Want to Make it to the Next Century
I want to see what happens to the human race and this planet for one. For another, I would like to finish my life’s work. I know that type-1 diabetes means my life expectancy is 69, but come on. Seriously, I have yet to get my law degree. I have many advanced degrees I want but my life is stuck in a low-income rut. Diabetics do not necessarily die young. I will not necessarily be low-income my whole life. That’s ridiculous. Yes, my family thinks this, but none of my friends do.
