Are You Growing Old Too Fast?
Meditation Relieves Stress Stress, an automatic biological response of the body, characterized by symptoms of emotional or physical tension in reaction to a situation in which a person feels anxious or threatened, is experienced by everyone at some time in their life. Man or woman, adult or child, no one is immune. For many of us, stress seems an inescapable “part and parcel” of our daily lives.

A Miracle In A Bottle
Antioxidants Fight The Signs Of Premature Aging We all hate to see the visible signs of aging appear on our skin. Fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots are not welcome. It seems we all want to look younger than our chronological age. The search for the fountain of youth is not a new idea. Medical research has been pursuing that goal for decades. Today, however, recent advances in medical data focused on the effect of antioxidants on skin tissue, offer new and exciting options in anti-aging skincare.

Sold!
Here I sit, surrounded by boxes. Small, medium, large, and gigantic boxes. Boxes that contain my life. Why is this move making me feel so old? There is no adventure here as I had in my younger days. There is very little to plan for as there is less of my life ahead of me than behind me. Everything I own is in these boxes. When this is done, I will own one less thing—a home.

Lost and found
To some extent this is about getting older. A time when you can start to forget if you took your pills or not. You can’t for the life of you find where you stored the hand blender. You can’t remember to whom you lent the paint mixer. A time when the mind starts to go and you have to adapt. I started writing notes in my little black book. A nice gift I received for Christmas. Mostly to-do notes. An occasional drawing. Lots of math from the market where I sell many varieties of fresh cut flowers. And a new bad habit. All my passwords. And phone numbers. My client list and recent orders. Email addresses. It makes this little black book important and I take it everywhere. It’s not a diary but I can kind of read between the lines of my to-do lists and extract a journal of sorts. Sometimes I leave myself little notes in the tiniest of script. They are mostly self improvement notes. You know the kind. I will be less controlling. That sort of thing. Or I copy inspirational quotes. It’s quiet now so I’m going through the pages at a slower rate. It’s winter and it’s Covid lockdown. And I am bored.

Wealth
When I was young, much younger than I am now; when my hair was still brown, I bought a notebook. I paid the lady at the checkout, and instead of keeping my change, bought a lottery ticket. And that, dear reader, was the only lottery ticket I have ever bought.

Aging Awkwardly
Lately, I have all but stopped looking in the mirror, and a one-time snap and post selfie has turned into twenty before I have the nerve to post the final filtered version. What is with those crow’s feet? Have they gotten so pronounced that Botox doesn’t work anymore? And, oh my god, what happened to my neck? Let’s not even think about letting someone see me naked. It’s a good thing I’m single. I even hide myself from myself. I do not look in the mirror until I at least have a towel wrapped around me. When did this happen?

Things To Consider If Suffering From The Menopause
When women reach a certain age, they will begin to go through the menopause. This means that they will stop having periods and will no longer be able to become pregnant naturally. Periods often begin to become less frequent a few months or years before they stop altogether. The menopause is a natural part of life and usually happens between the ages of forty five and fifty five years of age. This is the usual time when a woman's oestrogen levels begin to decline. In the UK, the average age for a woman to reach the menopause is 51.

Angharad
1. Angharad’s default setting was Seething Resentment. It had taken her years to cultivate this particular emotional state and now it was set firm in the very lines of her face. This mode was occasionally supplanted by a more active and conscious mode of Bitter Disappointment when her thoughts would focus in forensic detail on the years wasted on her silent husband and ungrateful children.

Aging: What are the Expectations vs. Reality Factors
When it Comes to Aging: What are the Expectations vs. Reality Factors? “A human being would certainly not grow to be 70 or 80 years old if this longevity had no meaning for the species to which he belongs. The afternoon of human life must also have a significance of its own and cannot be merely a pitiful appendage to life’s morning.” ~Carl Jung
