Red décor and what children think of as heart-shapes are ubiquitous in February. Love is the theme, but mostly an excuse to use the time to say that which we should always say. However, if you really want to show love, to someone else OR to yourself, perhaps concentrate on a healthy heart rather than a cartoon cutout. Throughout Aging with Pizzazz there are posts on heart health – some with common facts, others more unique. Here, let’s explore an easy and fun idea (especially for techies) – the use of a home EKG. These days it’s relatively simple. The Workhorse Heart Hearts are workho…

Note: Please excuse any duplicate receipt of this posting. We had hiccups with the servers and lost posts; re-posting Jan 15 here. Last year we visited adaptive tools for the kitchen. After a year, I haven’t yet purchased a set of ‘Forghetti’ pasta forks (it’s still on my list). Like many of us, need is generally what motivates me; I continue to manage my pasta with my simple utensils, so hence no Forghetti (yet). Both my husband and I tend to be kitchen ‘gear-heads’ so I imagine it’s coming someday soon. As I mentioned in Universal Design in Kitchen Utensils, “adaptive tools…

Note: Please excuse this duplicate posting. We had hiccups with the servers and lost posts; reposting Jan 1 here. Wishing everyone a productive 2025, with less stress and ample hope. Time again. At least one more year of sharing some tidbits I’ve learned in the past months. There is no rhyme or reason to the order or the selections. It’s difficult just picking out a few and giving them a cursory covering. The latter tough because the more you read on any subject, the more you want to explore. I hope some of my dozen will be new to you too. This is also one more year I’m able to thank loy…

Last year we visited adaptive tools for the kitchen. After a year, I haven’t yet purchased a set of ‘Forghetti’ pasta forks (it’s still on my list). Like many of us, need is generally what motivates me; I continue to manage my pasta with my simple utensils, so hence no Forghetti (yet). Both my husband and I tend to be kitchen ‘gear-heads’ so I imagine it’s coming someday soon. As I mentioned in Universal Design in Kitchen Utensils, “adaptive tools” (as the name implies) help us adapt to our special needs. Last year’s blog concentrated on the kitchen, a place where these too…

Wishing everyone a productive 2025, with less stress and ample hope. Time again. At least one more year of sharing some tidbits I’ve learned in the past months. There is no rhyme or reason to the order or the selections. It’s difficult just picking out a few and giving them a cursory covering. The latter tough because the more you read on any subject, the more you want to explore. I hope some of my dozen will be new to you too. This is also one more year I’m able to thank loyal readers of AgingWithPizzazz. “Never stop learning” is vital to quality aging. It’s always the goal for my…

Note: As I always enjoy a bit of time off at the end of the year, I’m taking this opportunity now to wish you all Happy Holidays. This month represents the 10th year of Aging_With_Pizzazz. Not certain if that is Happy Birthday or Happy 10th Anniversary. Either way, 10 years is a long time for a content blog. It was difficult figuring out what I might address for a special occasion when there’s a decade worth of posts from which to choose. But I decided on what would be best for readers and I’m including that below, under the heading “Who Cares? You Care.” Before moving on to that sec…

Personal Note: To all of you celebrating over this month’s election, I say congratulations. I trust you will watch for the results from your choice. For those of you grieving over the same election, I offer sympathy, and the time-old solace that “this too shall pass.” Finally, for all of us, I suspect that being able to communicate with those holding different viewpoints,without wishing to strangle them, is another key for Aging with Pizzazz. — Dr. Fuhrman, one of my professors, used to say, “people most often get sick when it starts to get cold outside, or when it starts to get warm…

I trust that each of you enjoyed the numerous daily posts you have received from me in the past two months while I was away. Are you shaking your head in wonder? Thinking ‘did I miss something?’ In turn, I wonder if this is gaslighting or sanewashing my readers. To include a fact-check, I didn’t post any pieces during that time. Generally, I don’t explore politics at Aging_With_Pizzazz. Normally, I attempt to provide health benefits and ease stress, not add to it. Not to mention that I hear enough of it in my volunteer life. But here is a tangential foray into the current state of affa…

Note to Readers: Aging_with_Pizzazz will be taking a Hiatus. Keep up all your good work and I’ll be back with you in the fall. Upon mentioning my gym ball in a class recently, a guy asked me “well, what is a gym ball?” It was one of those moments when you stumble and wish you could just answer “you know… a gym ball.” Then I realized it could be confused with other names and products. My goodness, he may have even envisioned a medicine ball, which some of us might remember with less than delight. The gym ball is round inflatable soft elastic material (usually from 35-85 cm, which is…
