Senior Moments, how to deal with aging when you feel young.

As a part of the Baby Boomer generation, I am finding it difficult to fit in this box. My body may be aging a bit, but my mind is telling me I am still young. How can we seniors change the course of our destiny when the media continues to confuse us with ads for bladder control or pills for everything from bone loss to erectile dysfunction? Sure there are changes occurring in our bodies that we have to deal with but that doesn’t define who we are.
It’s time to take charge and be the person we are on the inside. There may be physical limitations to our
quality of life, but that doesn’t have to stop our hopes and dreams. Don’t be afraid to try something new
that would not be considered Senior Citizen appropriate.
Ever feel like swinging on a swing again? Do it!
You may have to find a time that the young mothers with small children leave the swings free, but it is a possibility. This is good medicine for the body and the soul. You will have a smile on your face and a breeze in your hair that will turn back the clock of time.
Get rid of full length mirrors. They do nothing to make you feel good and you don’t really need to check
your self out from head to toe.
Let your self enjoy an ice cream sundae or an ice cold beer without guilt or worrying about what your children would think. I am giving you permission today to just be your young self and enjoy life.
Your physician may tell you something else.
