***Is SHE Crazy, Is It HIM, or Is It MENOPAUSE?

This post was inspired by a client of mine who is definitely having mood swings and feels that her husband does not understand. His comments suggest that she is either mentally ill, depressed or just basically unstable. His recommendations are that she should take some anti-depressant or anti-anxiety medication and just get these mood swings under control. He just wants to house to be peaceful and quiet again. He wants that loving wife back, the one who puts up with his quirks, cooks the meals and is always trying to please.

***Aging in Place: The Myth of Aging Gracefully

A Chinese proverb says that we naturally see the beauty of youth, but must learn to see the beauty of age. I read an article recently by Susan Jacoby titled The Myth of Aging Gracefully. It is a thought provoking piece about the over exuberance with which our culture (boomers mainly) embraces anti-aging—or the triumph of hope over experience.

***Fending Off Mr. Irascible

I’m in the middle of a lazy, overcast Sunday morning putting the finishing touches on breakfast. It’s the one day of the week I have our paper (The Philadelphia Inquirer) delivered, providing the opportunity to “lose myself” for a couple of hours reading through its entirety. The Currents section, offering editorials and commentary, and the Local News section contain articles that are unwittingly related to one another and spark the idea behind this post.

***A Healthy Circulatory System with a High Functioning Lymphatic System

he circulatory system is an amazing network containing over 60,000 miles of blood vessels. In the center of this system is the heart, which is weighs about 11 ounces and is the size of a fist. The heart is like a double pump organ. The right side sends blood to the lungs. There carbon dioxide is removed and oxygen is added. The blood is then pumped through the heart again to be distributed throughout the body. This action takes place every 20 seconds. If the heart stops pumping, the result is death. The blood carries essential nutrients and oxygen to every part of the body.

***Postive Self-Talk

Be Your Own Best Supporter! We all want to feel self-confident. It feels so wonderful to be able to walk into a room, speak to people and feel self-assured. Feeling comfortable in your own skin – priceless! Most of us seek confidence in our environments with the people, places and things that make up our world. We rarely find it there; instead, it is discovered within us. This is where our own positive self-talk plants the seeds that blossom into a healthy self-esteem and respect.

***Are You, Empty Nester And Boomer, OK With Floating In Life?

I think most of us push ourselves too hard to do something when clarity hasn’t arrived. Parents call me tearful that they can’t get over the emptiness. Who is rushing you? Do you think if you float that might bring you something you didn’t even realize had value? A mother, who now lives solo, since her children are married and she is divorced, was ready to explore what might be possible for her that would bring new meaning to her life. Her mind chattered away daily at her to do something, snap out of it, get a life already.

***Perception Creates Reality

written by Traci Brosman If you believe you can do it, you can. If you believe you can’t, you won’t. How do you see your reflection? Is it distorted in the ripples of a wave? Is it clear as in a quiet body of water? Is it completely opposite as in looking at a mirror? How you see yourself in relation to your world predicts how you will behave and perform in your daily routines.

***Recycling Boomer Wisdom

Question: What is one of the most valuable recyclables in the history of humanity? Answer: YOU! Let’s face it. Boomers have lived, loved, and learned through some of the most interesting, challenging, and amazing times. Interacting with a generation of children and young adults who can hardly imagine a video-free lifestyle, places some of us in a self-assessed position of technological inferiority. And with technology integrated into virtually everything we touch these days, this covers a huge amount of territory.

***Where Do Your Vitamin and Mineral Supplements Come From?

written by Dr. Karen Purcell, M.M., N.D., C.N. Many people think that all nutritional supplements are “created equal”. Well, that is simply not the case. Many, in fact, most of the supplements in the US are concocted in a laboratory. They are chemicals and synthetics. For example, if the word acid is used in the name of the product, it is synthetic. Like ascorbic acid or folic acid. These are chemicalized synthetic forms of Vitamin C Ascorbate or Folate (part of the B Complex series). So…what’s the difference?

***Be a Green Boomer

A recent report I read indicated that the earnings of non-green products nationally is at $12 billion per year compared with similar green products that earn $1 billion per year. At first I thought this a paltry relationship until I realized that a dozen years ago the difference would have been much greater. But “thanks” to illnesses, complaints, economics, education, conferences, lawsuits and concomitant jury awards, and other factors, breakthroughs are being made.

***Surging Ahead

Written by: Neal Dranoff A couple of years ago, my wife Nita got smacked with the realization she was beginning to go through “the change,” i.e. menopause. God bless her, she’s been riding out this storm with the grit and grace of an America’s Cup skipper. Some days are worse than others, but the mood swings have only been semi-alarming rather than outright menacing…think of the difference between sitting on a merry go-round versus riding a roller coaster…it may be an up-and-down journey, but at least there aren’t any wild plunges and turns.

You can tell when it’s that time again. Somewhere between the bizarre, Euro-styled perfume ads before Xmas and the speed-rap Super Bowl flat screen sales, there’s the flood of dieting ads and gym memberships before New Year’s Eve. This is to remind us we haven’t been living the way we intended.

***For God’s Sake, Get a Hearing Aid!

For me, old age began the day when, for the third time in five minutes, I uttered the words, “Whadya say?” and the other person screamed back, “For God’s sake, get a hearing aid!” I admit it. For years I’d been in denial about my gradual hearing loss. I associated it with diminished virility. Blamed it on wax buildup, people who didn’t speak distinctly or high female voices that were audible only to household pets.

According to the Financial Planning Association, here are a few ways to avoid potential conflicts: Agree to talk about money: The first discussion should deal with whether they can talk about it. Consider how each person’s parents dealt with money issues and whether those practices would be worth copying or avoiding. Most important, recognize that money problems will happen.

***Little Things DO Mean a Lot

It seems likely that humans, and even some other species of mammals, have consoled others forever in history with food and other comfort at times of loss and grief. There have been many long standing traditions and examples throughout history and in many diverse cultures of this custom. This has been so common in the past that we even developed a term for the practice…”comfort food” although the term has been given a different spin today.

***Justice Served

written by Neal Dranoff Being a 50 plus male and having “been around the block” a few times engenders a requisite amount of seasoning. By this age, naiveté has pretty much flown out the window and we feel like life has few surprises left to offer. Even devoid of having personally experienced a given situation, we’re so bombarded with others’ tales through our profusion of media outlets that we at least think we can easily wrap our hands around a remedy should we ever find ourselves as a principal. Or so I thought…

***Intergenerational Conflict in the US Workforce

For the first time in history, we have four – some people argue five – generations in the workforce: the Traditionals, Baby Boomers, Gen X and Gen Y. The normal stresses in the workplace are being exacerbated by the fact that the leading edge of the 79 millio Boomers born between 1946 and 1964 are not moving out of the workforce as expected. The likely result will be increasing conflict among the generations over jobs, pay, benefits and advancement opportunities.

***Political Promises Made to be Broken

As this article goes to press, it seems that Congress is hell-bent on giving us a health care bill that they promised will not cost the American public a single dime in new taxes. How many times have we heard promises like that? Social Security was promised to be only a 1 percent tax on the first $1,200 of earnings when it was introduced. Social Security benefits were promised to never be taxed. Medicare was promised to be the solution to rising health care costs for seniors. These two programs are now the largest spending items in the federal budget.

As boomers, many of us are retired or thinking of retiring. One of the things that may happen when one retires is that every day becomes a weekend. I have a retired friend that proclaims that every day is Saturday except for “fat paper day” which is Sunday. So he has six Saturdays each week. This sounds like it would be awesome; however, one of the real risks of retirement is alcoholism. With so much extra time to socialize those of us who have an occasional drink on the weekend now have a life full of Saturdays!
