Eating healthy and taking care of your self.  Exercise your body and your mind.  I do strategy gaming, I'm learning to code, if I don't know how to do something I learn it. Even just talking and have an engaging conversation with my husband.

I like reading history books which will not lead you astray.

I like to do the AARP crossword puzzles. It keeps my brain sharp and allows me to earn points for chances to win great prizes. I also like to read, exercise, do word games, etc. I also downloaded the Staying Sharp app add-on to use with my Oculus for seemingly endless fun ways to stay sharp. It's all like oil for my sometimes rusty brain.

I love to play the word games such as Scramble or Sequence Squares to challenge my score. I am not the best at the games however, I love getting better and better everyday. I love participating in the AARP rewards and watching the videos and the doing the quizzes. You can donate points to other senior who may need help or buy something for your self or grandchildren. 

I ALWAYS love the opportunity to learn new things/information to keep informed and share with others and have fun at the same time. 

Thanks

The past 2 years I grew a flower garden, then took pictures of it as it progressed. I turned the pictures into puzzles to give to family, but I want to take it to the next level by starting a niche puzzle line. Although, physically, I wasn't able to do a garden this year, I still take sky and floral shots.

I also am the administrator for several mental health groups on Facebook and was facilitating a mental health support group.

I joined AARP just this month and I have been watching videos and taken quizzes  almost daily to the point of maxing out my points earned for the day.  I am surprised at the amount of things I have learned in a short period of time.  I always dreaded turning 50 and all the age old jokes that came with it.  But over all I am quite pleased with how this new chapter of life is treating me! Thank You AARP! 

I stay active in through classes at local art league—metal working, painting, design, etc. I like building new skills that I can use in new ways. 

I play Wordle everyday.  I read and exercise daily. I play games with a group once a week.
