I don't want to be 50
I don't want to be 50. I decided that I should stick where I am, all my plans for this year have been postponed or cancelled so why cant my birthday be as well. I had 3 concerts to go to, 2 holidays and I should be on honeymoon from my wedding 2 days ago. All moved to next year, the wedding was the most upsetting to cancel but there was no choice. I planned it partly so I had it in my mind rather then turning 50.

What Do You Do
What do you do when the person you knew all your life turns into a cruel person who verbally attacks others on purpose just to make you angry? You can't do anything because you know its not them anymore. So, you’re torn between reacting or forcefully brushing it off, knowing either way there’s going to be a fight over it. Nothing you do or say will change their mind. Nothing you can do or say will make you good enough in their eyes.

Near Death Experience
Six years ago, I went shopping in the local dollar store with my friend Billy near my apartment in my town. It was across the street from where I live. I was walking through the ailes and Billy was in another aile. Suddenly a terrible pain shot trough my chest area. The pain got stranger and stronger. I thought I was having a massive heart attack, I was a 60 year old male with just hypertension and not history of heart trouble.

Caring for an Elderly Parent
Caring for your mother or father can be an emotional journey. It’s often pressurizing, stressful, and downright painful. The father you once knew, the strong, confident and courageous figure you once looked up to and thought could do anything, can’t even feed himself without making a mess. It's awkward. It's uncomfortable. It's embarrassing for both of you.

Ode to a Sunday Morning...
Y’know – and here’s some phenomenal profundidty – I am not as young as I used to be. It’s true. I am no longer wandering the earth, heady with the primitive, verdant juice of potency, prowling like an uncoiled jungle cat, spraying territorial markers and building a dynasty. Those particular days are things of my past, though I am still filled with the glory-seeking of the adventurous explorer. But these days my body isn’t always operating in orchestration with my wild animus.

Let's stop spreading the myth that getting older is such a rewarding experience that is symbolic of wisdom.
Events that represent the passage of time, such as the celebration of birthdays; the emergence of a new season like summer, spring or winter; New Years' Eve celebrations and wedding anniversaries, traditionally invoke meaningful memories for most of us - but for the elderly - especially those living in aged care facilities and those who live with the effects of dementia - being reminded of ageing can be a depressing experience, triggering symptoms of anxiety and grief.
