As we journey through life, self-love becomes an increasingly important companion, especially as we reach our 60s. This is a time for embracing who we are, celebrating our journey, and prioritizing our well-being like never before. Self-love isn't just about indulging in occasional treats; it's a daily practice of nurturing our minds, bodies, and spirits. Here are some tips to help you embrace self-love in your 60s and beyond:

1.      Prioritize Self-Care: Start each day with a simple self-care routine. Whether it's a few minutes of meditation, a calming cup of tea, or a morning stretch, setting aside time for yourself can set a positive tone for the day.

2.      Move Your Body: Staying active is key to maintaining both physical and mental health. Find activities that you enjoy and that suit your fitness level, whether it's gentle yoga, walking in nature, or dancing to your favourite tunes.

3.      Nourish Your Body: Pay attention to your body's needs and nourish it with healthy, balanced meals. Eating a variety of colourful fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins can help you feel your best.

4.      Stay Connected: Social connections are vital for emotional well-being. Stay in touch with friends and family, join community groups or clubs, and participate in activities that bring you joy and fulfillment.

5.      Practice Gratitude: Cultivate an attitude of gratitude by reflecting on the things you're thankful for each day. This simple practice can help shift your focus from what's lacking to what's abundant in your life.

6.      Set Boundaries: Learn to say no to things that drain your energy or cause you stress. Setting boundaries is an act of self-love that allows you to prioritize your well-being.

7.      Celebrate Your Accomplishments: Take pride in your achievements, big and small. Celebrate your successes and acknowledge the growth and wisdom that come with age.

8.      Engage in Mindfulness: Practice being present in the moment and savouring the experiences life has to offer. Mindfulness can help reduce stress and enhance your overall sense of well-being.

9.      Embrace Aging: Aging is a natural part of life, and embracing it with grace and acceptance is an act of self-love. Focus on the positives of getting older, such as the wisdom and experience you've gained.

10.  Seek Support: If you're struggling with self-love or mental health issues, don't hesitate to seek professional support. Therapy or counselling can provide you with the tools and guidance you need to navigate this stage of life with confidence and resilience.

In conclusion, self-love is a journey that continues to evolve as we age. Embracing self-love in your 60s means honouring yourself, nurturing your well-being, and celebrating the unique person you are. By prioritizing self-care, staying connected, and practising gratitude, you can cultivate a deep sense of self-love that will enrich every aspect of your life.

 I was on my way to see GD#3 in Aurora with my son when he made me an offer I couldn't refuse. Everlovin' was planning on coming down to get me that night after work. I was a little worried because it meant he would be very tired after working all day and then driving the 2 hrs to get me and the 2 hrs back cause we needed to be at the airport at 9:30 or so. My son said that Aurora was pretty close to where Everlovin' lives near the border of Toronto and Markham so he could drop me off and save Everlovin from having to make the trip. It also meant I could worry less about his heart and the fatigue he would be feeling with the time change between Ontario and Alberta. So instead of spending the night traveling dinner was provided by my MIL and I got to sit out under the gazebo and see all the pretty flowers my BIL has grown. I need to say before I go any further that I had never been on a jet before, I'd ridden in a fixed wing so it wasn't totally strange. I was beyon

Perhaps I was a little hasty...

 Last night all I could think about was getting out of this town and going to someplace safe and quiet.  Funny enough when I went searching for safe and affordable Peterborough was actually on the list and yes the list was new as of June 2022. Kinda surprised to find that we are actually pretty safe here despite all the stuff going on. I was watching Tik Tok and this guy was jogging down a street in Vancouver, there were literally dozens of tents and homeless all along the street. Made me realize that we do have it pretty good here even with the rents doubling in the last six months. I would rather not leave Ontario but the cheapest rents are in Quebec and one of the eastern provinces, I can't remember which one off the top of my head. This is scary Maybe I'll find a way to curb the urge to run away for awhile.

 Today we head to Calgary after E is done working. We packed up and checked out of the Sandman. I spent most of the day in a place called Cafe on 54. E joined me and grabbed himself a Reuban when he was done which he seem to like. I worked on the journal and drew a picture of Edmonton before we landed.  Scan and add photo of art work. We had to wait for the network guy while he returned his car so we hung out at a nearby gas station though it was a bit more than that with a car wash and a convenience store. It was a long wait so I grabbed some junk food. I lost one of the things I bought but the 7 day croissant was pretty good. The network guy wanted to stop at a beach called Sylvan Beach on the way to Calgary. It was interesting, one of those lakes where you can walk out a long way before it starts to get above your knees. There was a camping area, a playground, and a small marina.     I walked along the kelp-strewn beach looking for a stone or two, what I found were waterlogged wood
