The Happiness Project
Allowing positive thoughts, allows more positive thoughts to occur. Happiness is not a destination, it is a way of being, and your thoughts, create your actions, which create your personality, which create your character. It is time to make happiness one important character trait that you do not negate for anything or anyone. SO what makes you happy? What are you grateful for?

An Elder...or just...getting older?
In his book, Saturn Returns:Thinking Astrologically, author Tom Jacobs poses a very interesting idea, to be sure. It is not that he outright asks the question (because it really was not asked but was more of a statement) but that the question has been in my head since I read the passage - Do I want to Become Elder, or, am I just going to follow everyone else and just get older?

Aging as Disease
It started with a simple request from my 74 year old mom to “help her understand this stuff.” That is not meant as any sort of knock on her at all. She is an extremely intelligent woman. However she has no training in science or math or statistics and frankly not much interest in them either.

Life's Greatest Lessons
On May 1, 1940, in a small community known as Grove Park, Glenn Moffett was born. Located in the North West part of Atlanta GA, Grove park was home to a primarily lower middle class, mainly white, population. This was the kind of town where the local grocery store, church, and school were all accessible within a five-mile radius. Alongside his extended family, Glenn spent the entire period of his youth growing up in this community. His childhood home was located on an elevated piece of property known as “the hill”, a place where only him and his extended family (this includes cousins, uncles/aunts, and grandparents) resided. Glenn likes to describe his experience growing up in a neighborhood that was mutually exclusive to his own kin as one that is like the dynamics of a commune. Everyone living on “the hill” watched out for each other. Glenn recalls many of his daily activities always being done in the company of various family members.

Ensuring Safety of your Elderly is Now Easy
Personal safety is no doubt the basic human need. As we grow old, our ability to take care of our personal safety goes down. In today's times when safety is a major concern, ensuring that our loved ones, who are ageing, are safe and sound has become even more significant. Safety issues could be related to health or wellbeing in terms of confidence, quality of life and through personal alarms. As people get older, their strength and stamina to deal with such safety issues tend to decline and this can result in them being at risk.
