It’s September, and Boomers Have Reasons to Smile

Posted On: September, 2, 2022 | Categories: Poems

A Windsong Original poem

 

Fresh-brewed coffee in a great big mug

Its scent envelops me like an aromatic hug

The sunrise through the windows gives my heart a tug

I have so many reasons to smile.

 

Wide, welcoming courtyard entices me outside

Blooms on every one of the new plants I’ve tried

I take in their beauty and happily sigh

I have so many reasons to smile.

Eye Exams Help Boomers Enjoy Lifestyle They’ve Envisioned

Posted On: August, 25, 2022 | Categories: Uncategorized

At our hearts, we are all visionaries – those who plan for their futures with a combination of imagination and wisdom acquired through a variety of life experiences.

But it’s hard to live the life you’ve envisioned when your eyesight is blurry. You’ve imagined your future, made wise decisions, bought the home of your dreams. But maybe it’s a little harder to read that novel for book club; it’s frustrating to travel, especially at night; or to see the stage at a concert or focus on the screen at a theater.

We use our eyes daily, so it’s no wonder they wear out a bit over time. But keeping regular appointments with your eyecare professional is essential to maintaining your visionary status throughout your lifetime.

Active Adults Enjoy the Classics

Posted On: August, 18, 2022 | Categories: Uncategorized

Every generation has its share of trends. We’ve had trends in music, cars, fashion, movie themes. Even our palates seem to enjoy trends, with certain styles of restaurants, recipes, and diets coming into and out of vogue.

A trend is defined as a general direction in which something is developing or changing. Often, we see trends become classics (an item or experience judged over a period of time to be of the highest quality or most outstanding of its kind).

It stands to reason that some trends would become classics. (Coca-Cola® comes to mind. The original is now classic.)

In home-buying, trends are set by a variety of things, including entertainment, magazines, and “reality” television programs, to name a few. And many of these trends, in turn, have the staying power to become classics.

All of us could stand to simplify our lives just a little bit. In fact, when you read the headline, you probably immediately thought of an area of your life that seems a bit too overwhelming, complicated, or just “messy.”

Active Adults Find Happiness at Home

Posted On: July, 21, 2022 | Categories: Uncategorized

“The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination.” ~Carl R. Rogers

As this post is being penned, much of north Georgia is in a tug-of-war between scorching temperatures by day and thunderstorms by night. We may celebrate the rain and curse the heat, but the truth is that both are part of life these days, parts of the four-season climate we are fortunate to have.

Active Adults Bide Better, Conquer Chaos

Posted On: July, 13, 2022 | Categories: Uncategorized

Life in Georgia has so many benefits, but one of the drawbacks for some is extreme heat of summer.
Thankfully, we live in homes with refrigerators filled with cold drinks, and air conditioners that keep the indoor temperatures at comfortable levels.

But spending time indoors, whether alone or with guests, means the potential for clutter and a little bit of chaos. After all, who wants to clean inside the house in the evening, when we could be outside sipping a refreshing drink in the courtyard, or strolling through the neighborhood before dusk?
