Brain Health: Keeping your brain active

I am 77 also - 78 in febuary. It doesn't matter how talented you think you are - all that matters is that you do things to keep your brain working. I do crossword puzzles and differant solitaire games on line. I write poems and stories no one will ever see to keep my mind working. We are the only ones that will keep us going. Don't judge yourself down, judge yourself up or forget judgement. Just stay active in every way. It doesn't matter how active we are just that we are active. Walk every day. count the steps and try to add a few, just don't get trapped away from the safety of home.

This is such sound advice. When I paint it's never with any expectations. Of course I want to get better at it, so I keep on doing it. I also watch you tube videos. They have so much information. And I like learning different techniques.
I just finished reading a book called Keep Sharp, by Sanjay Gupta, MD. It talks about building a better brain at any age. Those are his words. I found it so interesting. He has a 12 week program that is doable. I am sure that local libraries either have or can get.
You have the right idea.

Oh I stay active, sorry if it came across otherwise. I walk my dog every day, do most of my yard work and all housework, wrote spooky short stories for children under the name of Bon Rose. Have Bible study once a week and yes love the word games and puzzles but always wish I could paint. Nothing around thrift store wise and I have a friend in another state that’s a wonderful painter it’s through her is how I know the cost.
