Sitting outside and enjoying great music, while the sun goes down and the stars come out. What a beautiful way to end a good day. This is the scene when you attend any one of several music events happening out of doors. Many are free to attend and picnicking is encouraged. We have several in our... Sign in to see full entry.

Communities for boomers
I have it interesting to look at the way housing is being constructed around the world. The communal living idea is fostering a lot of housing designs. In America housing was looked at as the suburbs’ for some time and then back to condo living in the big city. Now the design is for small... Sign in to see full entry.

How to sustain our lifestyle
Talking about ways to enjoy our retirement or just enjoy a little entertainment with a reasonable cost is great. I can think of more of these ‘golden oldies’, however, we are the generation of giving back. In the late sixties and seventies, we were experimenting with living in larger groups and...

Activities for the transition months
There are so many things we can enjoy now while the weather is nice that will not be so accessible in the winter months. At the same time, we can begin to think about what we would like to do in the colder months. I am not rushing the weather. Here is the thought, looking at those folks you enjoy...

Forest Theater or Outdoor Theater
Hi, hope you all had a very pleasant weekend. I have always been a firm believer in the arts, and like so many I frequently forget to think about the simple pleasures. Over the weekend I went to a production of Oliver in a Forest Theater, near my home. This is such a rare treat; I wish I could have... Sign in to see full entry.

Embrace your romance
Using washable paint or chalk, this is a great time to get creative. Why should the 7 to 10 year olds have all the fun? Now let’s not get carried away and act like a 14 to 25 year old, no tagging. We want to have the same kind of fun we did when we were innocent and just learning about the world.... Sign in to see full entry.

Balloon drive experiences
Today we are going to begin a week of fun and surprises. The first thing you need to do is write down seven ideas you have had for a fun thing to do. These are not necessarily from your bucket list, rather just ideas which have come to you over the summer or the last year. Things can be as expensive... Sign in to see full entry.

Closure for you
This is a time to give thought to closure, because there is never a specific time (40yrs, 50yrs etc.). The best time to work on closure is when you think about wanting to resolve an issue with a person. And if there is more than one person, it is better to work on only one person at a time. However,... Sign in to see full entry.

What closure means for us
Yesterday I talked about getting closure with a friend or relative, from whom you are estranged. The feelings surrounding this situation have grown and grown in the ensuing years or months of this falling out. The thing that makes this so important is how it drives us. There are obviously some... Sign in to see full entry.

Having made peace with another
This week is a good time to discuss one of the biggest reasons why people have a problem with their impending death. This is a time of reflection and gratitude. Many of us have trouble seeing the gratitude for the regret. We all from time to time have people who rub us the wrong way or seem to... Sign in to see full entry.
