HEALTH & WELLNESS

WELLNESS-A teacher spends their day working with special needs students. They go home to find out their partner has had a bad day and unloads on them.

WELLNESS-As the death toll and cases (aka novel coronavirus) infection rises, our curiosity increases as to the epidemic’s when, why, where, and how.

WELLNESS--The words of the year as 2019 ends appear to be “OK Boomer” and “woke.” To this Boomer, it appears that the younger generation is blaming us for all the Evil in the world, from their perch of “woke” moral superiority. They consider us to be out of touch and over the hill.

WELLNESS--It’s no secret people are obsessed with Amazon (remember the guy who went viral for getting his wife a birthday cake that looked exactly like an Amazon Prime package?). But more than that, they’re obsessed with online shopping.

WELLNESS--Staying active is one of the most important things you can do for your health as you get older. Active seniors enjoy greater mobility, moods, and independence than older adults who adopt a sedentary lifestyle.

WELLNESS--Every weekday for six weeks this fall, I had radiation treatment for early-stage breast cancer. This journey has been a lesson in our broken social and economic systems.

WELLNESS--By now, you’ve probably read a horror story or two about vaping. It’s in the news every day ― you can’t miss it.

WELLNESS-I’ve never put much weight on standardized tests. As far as I’m concerned, SAT exams are a better measure of how many prep courses you can afford, and IQ tests don’t really translate to real-world intelligence. For years, I dumped standardized personality tests into this same bucket.
