National Preparedness Month.

Senior friends, yes, I am staying home!
I'll admit that I was going out to get
groceries or to buy take out dinners two or three days a week.  Now, things
have gotten out of hand! The number
of people in my state with COVID-19
has tripled! Our governor has issued
"STAY AT HOME" order! 

See Which States and Cities Have Told Residents 

to Stay at Home

 I have no problem obeying this order. 
I was going to cut back on the travel outside of my home anyway.
I am a senior in fairly good health 
but I am not a fool! I don't have to be burned with fire to know its HOT!
I have hand sanitizer, a reuse mask,
and gloves to wear when I pick up
medicine or go to the grocery store.


I used to cook a scratch meal on Sundays. Now, I cook every day!
I cook quick meals like pasta, 
chili, and casseroles. I can get
three meals out of these meals
and don't need a lot of meat
added.
I am checking on my Mom daily and calling friends I lost contact with. 
I call, email, or text them.

I am making a "To Do" List of projects 
to do every week. These projects are
chores I hated! I already had hobbies and crafts that  I liked to do. ! have already started seeds for my container
garden. I was wise and bought the plants and herbs for my container garden before the "Virus" became Pandemic!

My family made of a list of things we need in case of an emergency. We based the list on things we would buy 
if we were "snowed in" or
experienced aftermath of tragic hurricane or tornado. The usual
hand sanitizer, toilet paper, bread, water, and canned goods were necessities. Fresh meats sold out fast
in my local grocery stores. A few stores have early hours just for Seniors. 
This was a very smart move that I 
appreciated so much!!

I "Thank God",  every day that
I wake up and realize I do not have symptoms of COVID-19. I say a 
prayer for victims with the "Virus".
I have to limit the hours I spent
listening to the updates about
COVID-19. Hearing the numbers 
increase daily can be unnerving.
I try to press on with daily life 
and keep the faith!

HOW I AM AGING GRACEFULLY, WELLNESS

  I didn't want to acknowledge that I was  getting older.I got offended when store clerks said, Yes ma'am".  I realized that age 40 was old to most young people. I couldn't deny aging any longer when I  fell one morning sprinting out of bed.My friends and I had a good laugh because  all of them had fallen out of bed too.We shared our techniques for arising safely out of bed each morning.  We check to see which joints are working.I admitted that I  hold onto the wall until my joints loosen up. Most days my joints tell me  when a storm is coming.  I have had a few allergic reactions  pop up to foods  I have been eating since childhood.This is very annoying.I would be devastated if I ever developed any allergy to coffee or chocolate. I have to make my coffee  weaker now and I can live with that!! I can eat too much dark chocolate since it gives me indigestion.   Hey,  I know what to do. I'm resourceful, I only eat a little at a tim

SPANISH LLADRO ANGEL FIGURINES SENIOR MOMENT COLLECTIBLES (SMC) I began collecting angels after  I saw an article in the guide post  magazine. The lady had a picture of her angel collection on the first page. I thought this was a great  hobby. Now I have three curio cabinets full of angels. My husband realized I was  a serious about my angel collection. He began buying me beautiful angels for my Christmas present.  He even  bought me the curio cabinets to put them in.  I even had friends who collected  frogs, elephants, penguins, and sock monkeys. We helped each  other hunt for collectibles.Some of them bought me angels when  they traveled overseas. I have   beautiful angels from Africa and Hawaii because of my traveling friends. MY TIPS FOR COLLECTING: * Do research on the Internet for list of items people collect * Choose one item that interest you.  Some people do theme collecting like vintage toy

THE JEAN SCENE 4 WOMEN!

I love wearing jeans. They are  more enjoyable when they fit well. They flatter your figure. I am very envious when I see  a classy senior lady looking good in her denim outfit. I  have seen that crisp white  shirt, flattering jeans and a nice pair of boots. I was inspired to put more effort  into my attire after I saw a jeans show on Rachel Ray show.  Her guest explained that you have to find the correct jeans for your  body type.  I know they make  skinny jeans to fit every woman, but I must pass on this style. I have seen some denim styles that  I have tried to copy. They are classy and flattering. Here are some of the styles:
