AARP Rewards Community Learning & Earning Contest August 2022

I try to learn something new everyday. Whether coming on here (AARP) to take a quiz, by doing word puzzles, by watching game shows where it takes some thinking, listening to music, talking with the grandchildren (keeps me optimistic), keeping in touch with God(main thing..He says He will give me power, love and a sound mind) because I love Him and accept His Son Jesus, reading, watching PBS(very good learning programs on there), watching Discovery(they have way more new animals now days than when I was a child), crafting(decoupage, jewelry, resin artwork, coloring), volunteering to help others, walking out in nature.  I never get bored 🙂

I like to work in my flower garden,read, and play games. Go to flea markets and day trips with a friend or by myself 

At 81, I attend Water Aerobics Classes 3x a week, read every day, play word games, plan group outings with friends, belong to a writing group, crochet, paint, go to coffee with friends, AND nap when I can!

I keep my brain active by walking at the Y playing games with aarp and Caesar slots YouTube music video takes me back to the good old days when you could have fun when you would go out

I just learned to play pickleball, plus I do the NYTIMES spelling bee daily, the Wordle & love reading. 

I do several surveys a day and do the games from the AARP app

I play beat saber on my Oculus - forcing me to focus, and be quick. 

I keep in touch with friends and family. Keep up to date with world news.Play Sudoku and other games.

I went back to work part-time to stay active and engage with lots of people. 

I play pickleball about 5 days a week!  I know, you're thinking that is more of a physical activity than a mental one. But the mental focus required for games and the social engagement with other players (both on court and off) help keep my mind stimulated. And it's fun!
