Wednesday's Aging Hodgepodge

Visit Joyce and join the fun!

1. What's one thing you learned at the ripe old age of whatever age you are now?

It is not good for people to be isolated from one another.  I think I always knew this to a certain degree but with COVID I really have seen it.  It is especially hard for the elderly and those who are limited in going out to start.  

2. I read here a list of foods that can help you look younger-

extra virgin olive oil, green tea, fatty fish, dark chocolate, vegetables, flaxseeds, pomegranates, avocados, tomatoes, spices, bone broth 

How many of the foods listed have you tried? How many do you eat regularly? Your favorite from the list?

I have tried all but flaxseeds and bone broth.  I regularly eat extra virgin olive oil and vegetables.  My favorite is dark chocolate.  

3. Something you miss from the 'good old days'? When were the good old days anyway?

Being excited to watch a TV show because if you missed it you couldn't watch it anywhere else and there was no "on-demand".  Everything is available so easily these days, it doesn't seem to make anything feel special.  

4. What are two or three of the most rewarding things to be found in growing older?

The little things don't matter as much as you once thought.  What other people think doesn't matter as much as it once did.  

5. What's your favorite part of your life right now?

My family.  Watching my kids as they grow and mature.  Seeing them use the gifts God has given them is a blessing! 

6. Insert your own random thought here.

 Happy Birthday Week Joyce!
