Spend two minutes with this thought:

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Aging Well Support Group.

This may not be the right place, but how do you get signed back in, here, if you are asked to re-sign in? Instructionsay to clock on “sign in “ or on button, all at top right , but these aren’t showing, for me. Just the microscope, bell, person. Thanks. I have asked for general help, on home page, but no answers.

@dederickve If you are able to post here, and you see the icons, you are signed in.
I'm reporting this to the moderators so they can alert tech staff, in case there might a new glitsch.

@dederickve, if you see the notifications bell and the profile sihouette in the upper right corner (and not the join/sign in buttons), then you are already signed in.

Thanks a lot ! Another person and I send each other private messages. She can’t get signed in at all, and is no longer getting the daily post, the list of all her groups. How does she get back to the regular site, posts,a, etc ? Thanks.

@dederickve - It may be that her email has bounced and is not allowing her to receive the daily digest. She can use the same link @colleenyoung shared with you to contact tech support - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/help-center/.

@danyysienna111 Thank you for sharing Desiderata. It brings me peace. I may have read excepts of it, shared by someone sometime, but never the entire poem. It was written in 1927 between WWI and WWII yet is as meaningful today.

I found an audio reading of it on youtube. A keeper.

@triciaot you're welcome. It brings me peace and I read it often. Glad you enjoyed. 🙂

Pablo Casals, was asked why, in his nineties, did he continue to practice cello every day.
He replied: "Because I believe I'm making progress."

Now that I'm 86, I'm changing that to 95! Lol.

@greengold My Mom called them "chapters" - marrying, working, raising a family, retiring and traveling with Dad, traveling with her sister after he passed, downsizing (4 times). Her final chapter was at 83, when she learned to watercolor. Unfortunately, she passed and we never got to see what her next chapter would have been. Her favorite painting is on my wall to inspire me every day.

In my earlier decades, much of what I did was tinged with future concerns: developing my career skills, improving my musical technique for real or hoped for performance and status, etc.

Now my best future hopes are to just stay where I am and keep doing what I'm doing.

I'm much more able to just enjoy doing what I'm doing.

Too bad I didn't learn this sooner. I might have simplified my ambitions when I was younger!

That, is the essence of empathy and consideration.
Every time I brush with death, and come home full of holes and stickums, I am that much more joyous and thankful about this life, whatever it holds.
Tough way to teach humility and gratitude, but me me me entitlement is a hard nut to crack. Rise Up!

Just back from Shore vacation with the family. Great time. Swam and all. Only one week out of cardio hospital unit (yes, not overdoing).
Gratitude because I probably shouldn't be here at all. Live every day like that.I rode a bull named Fu Manchu.
