If, by now, life is not filled with joy and satisfaction, there is something wrong with your formula. By now, post 70ish, most of us need to have reached a level of serenity and contentment that speaks well of the choices we have made. One of my cousins frequently says, “It doesn’t get any better than this.” He is pre 70, not retired, but definitely developing an attitude and point of view that is a joy for him, and to be around him.
Determining that your day to day existence can be happy and pleasant is a sure fire way to be in a frame of mind that allows for more good days than bad.

Quality conditions and service vary significantly among Senior Care Centers. (Here we refer to Assisted Care, Memory Care, Nursing Homes, Skilled Nursing facilities, etc.) Usually the satisfaction of the resident is directly associated with the quality and effectiveness of that care. And that is usually attached to the overall costs charged back to the resident.
Quality care, however, even in those top of the line centers cannot always be presumed. Most such centers, not all, are profit making. This, as in any enterprise, drives the cost to service ratio. In smaller communities, even mediocre care can be expensive. While some residents enjoy both subsidized care and/or long term care insurance, the costs usually are such that additional resources must be called upon.

It has already started and it won’t be long before the virtual tsunami of political advertising, one liners, manipulated interviews, bill boards and campaign signs will proliferate everywhere. The landscape will be littered, the commercials will multiply, the rage will begin, the promises will inundate, the public will be manipulated.
In an article the other day, I said I was giving up on politics. This is not a reversal. It is more of a continuing rationale as to why. Maybe you will agree or disagree. But, my belief is we have an awful lot of work to do to convince both the body politic, that’s us, and the politicians, that’s them, what the genuine needs, conditions, demands and givens are out here in the real world.
We may also disagree on some of those. But,
It is so easy to let life take over. It is so easy to give in to the moment when demands and agendas and frustrations seem to be guiding us in what we do with ourselves. It is so easy to overlook taking our time, making our moment count, letting the spirit invade, giving over to the calm and reflective.
What we need, at least once in a while, is a chance to surrender. What we need is an opportunity to permit our being to be guided by thoughts that have nothing to do with the bombardments of daily life and living. What we need, if we are to be invaded at all, is to be invaded by meditative calm, a placid letting go, an undisturbed season, when we are totally and completely at peace.

How do we respond to the conflicting messages of our spending, in order to help the economy, and not spending to protect our own pocketbook? This current horns of a dilemma seems to contradict our own common sense. ” When things get tough, the tough get going” so says a familiar quote. However, going where is the paramount question. What is the best and most helpful strategy for persons, like retirees, who generally live on fixed incomes, whose resources can be drained and whose security can be threatened?
The conflicting political ideologies suggest that spending is the time proven method for getting the economy on its feet or cutting spending (and doing what with the money?) is the most wise approach for creating frugality and diminishing government influence.
