May 2015

May
A few different ideas for this month and its name. One is it was named after Maia, the goddess of growth of plants. Another thought is the name probably comes from Maiesta, the Roman goddess of honor and reverence.

Older Americans Month
Focus on safety for our older people, on keeping them moving physically, and on keeping them engaged socially and mentally.

National Blood Pressure Month
Take your blood pressure and be informed.  Don't buy the myth that too high or too low blood pressure has to do with age, it can be affected by genetics as well.  


Get Caught Reading Month

It's one of the best things to get caught doing!

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.
