I find hope in seeing my former students & their children succeeding in life. My mission to serve others; to make the world a better place take different forms as I'm aging. Now that I'm retired I am mainly an encourager & supporter of others. I am going to enjoy reading your blog, Janice. Sometimes the "encourager" needs to "fill the pitcher." Glad I found you!
Hi Jan, Thank you so much for subscribing to Aging Well News. The newsletter was born after my husband died of COVID in a memory care facility. My mission is to share the lessons I learned during 83 years of life - so others won't make the same mistakes I did.
Janice ~ I think we may have a similar mission -- paving the way for others. Mine is kinda a light-hearted approach. You sound quite knowledgeable. I will look forward to learning from you. I'm sure your husband is proud of the way you have chosen to heal from his loss.
This is lovely, Janice, thank you. I find these "check lists" really get me thinking and sorting things out. I find that "being grateful" and "getting it out" are the two most important concepts for myself right now. Being grateful for all I still am and have, and not dwelling on the losses is exhilarating. And I am infinitely grateful to SUBSTACK for allowing me a channel to express myself. Life is good. You are good. Sharron at 🍁 LEAVES

Lightheartedness and humor are priceless in writing and in life - things for me to work on. I hope so about my husband - it is my tribute to him.
