Hi Frances!
Your comments for Rusty are very helpful! I especially liked the one about listening to music. Music can be so good for your mood! Your newsletter sounded so interesting! I tried to click on the link but it didn't work. It stated that it wasn't available. So I tried to copy the link myself but still no luck. Could you just send me the title? I'll look it up that way.
Thank you!

I just had another thought as a result of a magazine I get called Brain and Life, another free magazine that featured Rita Moreno in the Feb/March issue. What a woman!

In her article she talked about her bouts with depression and some of the things that helped her overcome it. She also talks about challenging your brain by using your imagination. For example, because of her age and all the dancing she did her entire life, she can no longer do so. Now she pretends she is a conductor, and while the music is playing she "pretends" she is conducting the music. She is also teaching herself to write with her left hand, which I am now doing as well. I tried conducting myself and it was really quite fun. Moving around, kind of dancing with the music; it brings great joy and self entertainment. I recommend that you go online and submit an application for this free magazine. The content is fantastic and very informative.
