Aging Wisely


 

Aging Wisely

What does it mean to age wisely?

Have you been preparing for the ride?

You better grab the steering wheel

Because sooner or later you’ll get there

 

Aging has to do with people’s attitude.

You can be a couch potato or active.

Doing activities are beneficial as you age.

They help to keep one’s mind sharp.

 

Having confidence brings joy to life.

It’s imperative that seniors love what they do.

They can participate in a variety of activities.

Some can spend their time exercising, painting,

Learning a new language, going to coffee hours,

Practicing music, playing games, and doing crosswords

 

It’s true that as people age they face challenges.

Some may suffer from arthritis, lung disease,

Cancer, heart disease, memory loss,

Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, falls, or Osteoporosis

But with proper medical care and medication

Sufferers are able to control these diseases  

 

“Almighty Creator, help people as they age to live productive lives.  Be with them as they envision new ways to socialize and keep active.”

Amen
