DAD, Golf, the US OPEN and AT Home in Asheville

Golf, US OPEN - Dad and Driving from Asheville

 Happy Father's Day to a Real Champion

It’s a Big Week here in North Carolina. Over at the Village of Pinehurst  the U.S. Open Golf Championship is underway- and we are excited about our “stay steady” competitors. Just about a two-hour drive from Asheville, Pinehurst is a “charming, vibrant community which reflects our rich history and traditions, enhanced by a unique combination of cultural arts and recreational activities.”

With all this going on, we were reminded that "Handicaps are for golf and horse racing…” but for people, it’s all about accessibility AT home- regardless of age or physical ability. So let's talk about how a new vision of aging is trending, and how our influence can impact that trend. With this in mind, here are a few good questions:

1. Are you interested in the  benefits and comforts of living AT home-  (rather than IN a facility) – and this, regardless of age or physical ability?

YES ___ NO ___

2.Are you interested in learning how to start a conversation about a few simple things to do to create a "feathered nest" today that will work for you and others  20 years from now?

YES ___ NO ___

3. So then- are you all set to consider today what it takes to control your own destiny in the coming years?

YES ___ NO ___

"We continue to do all the same kind of things we used to do as we get older;
we just do them differently."

ABILITIES ON THE “BACK NINE”

If you are a person who loves the idea of living at the creative edge of time, you may be interested to know that more and more people  are choosing  to stay AT home. Planning may include a home automation, certain improvements, perhaps a remodel of the home and incorporation of elements that foster ...

“visit-ability, adapt-ability, and healthy aging-in-place ABILITY.”

Some others may prefer not to think about  the "back nine" of life.  But, as every golfer knows, in this game, it is preferable to control your own destiny. Where to start? Start with something as simple as talking about the positive prospects, and do take a low-key approach. and CONTINUE READING ((*:*))
