Really cool post Jan Green !  You are always learning new things, sharing interesting ideas and most of all you're happy!  I think you could have easily written the Queens' tips!!  Grasshoppers have lots of fun!!

This is a fantastic post for current times Jan! Last year was unsettling in many ways and learning to be still was such a challenge and now I am ready to get moving and grooving (and hopping) again.

This is good advice for any age person.  Thanks for sharing it.

It is shocking to see the stars look old.  You are right in my mind's eye they are always young.  Even more shocking is how many of the stars I have followed over the years are dying.  

I guess that means I am getting older too.  

My parents seem to take advantage of a lot of great benefits offered by AARP.

I like the AARP magazine but don't always read it - I missed the Queen's tips but have to say they are all "spot-on." 

Thank you for sharing!

Hi Jan- I've been a member for years and must have missed this issue. I am so happy that you shared the Queen's tips as well as how you are working on them. I have to have some structure in my routine even though I'm retired. It's what works for me. 

Thanks for sharing your observations. There are some good articles in the AARP magazine.

Take care, be safe and have an outstanding week.

Hi Jan Green - reading human interest stories is something many enjoy.  I do.

Good morning Jan. Must say, the Queen has many pearls of wisdom. Enjoy your day!

Good afternoon Jan Green ,

I'm so glad that Kathy Streib featured your post in her "Ah-ha" moments for the week..such a perfect post for today's times. Loved the 10 pearls of wisdom from the queen. Thank you for sharing!

I've been avoiding the AARP club. Mmmn. Should I reconsider?  Happy Sunday, Jan. 

Jan Green  Great post so glad  Kathy Streib  featured this as I missed it well said 

I am at a stage of life where I am happy to recognize the person that is shaving in the mirror in the morning

Excellent words of wisdom for all. So glad Kathy included this in her post.

We were receiving the magazine for awhile and I did enjoy reading the articles. 

I'm glad you shared about the Queen's article. I'm currently enjoying watching The Crown.

Never stop playing--that is ever so important during the pandemic.  pre covid, I would meet with clients and or friends once a week for happy hour, lunch , coffee and I REALLY miss it.  So for my closer friends, we have improvised:  we brown bag lunch and meet in my building parking lot to chat.  I' meet in parks when the weather is warm.  With clients, if the home is vacant, we'll take some extra time to chat while in the house.  I CRAVE more social interaction and just got more creative to keep it up!

Jan Green don't think I've ever read an AARP from front to back. Just may have to pick one up and check it out. Thank you for enlightening us about the tidbits we could uncover.

Just loved your post Jan and in all fairness I loved Grant Schneider  comment, Endre

Jan Green - I was also reluctant to join and when I did, I let the magzines pile up. Then one day I started reading articles of interest and was impressed by the quality of articles there very well written and educational. My favorite part of AARP right now are the invitations to movies and the arts, and many great free events to watch on-line for free. There wasn't one I didn't think was worth my time. You know what, if you're not aging, you're not growing. That's how I look at it. 

Jan, what a great post, and I have been avoiding AARP too, maybe I should give in.  Sounds like some good articles.

Hi Jan Green - 

If you go on Medicare and want one of the AARP plans you have to sign up.  Am I dating myself? Haha!  

Queen Elizabeth is amazing , full of wisdom and beloved by most in England !!!!!

I am hopeful that my life will soon be back to much more "in order" than the past year.  My parents, daughter and son in law will all have the vaccine soon.  My husband and I had covid in January and you can bet your butt there will soon be some lovin on my family.   I love most of the advice.  I am very "change" resistant.... but I do what I gotta do.

Dear Jan,

What a cute way to describe it. I would call it teenagers with experience. Best of luck, when number 8 arrives. How awesome is that.
