AARP Rewards Community Learning & Earning Contest August 2022

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

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

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

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

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

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 🙂

As a 61 y/o with a R.Foot Amputation, I attend the local Senior Center and participate in Bingo, discussions & some physical exercise.  Because I am an active individual, I utilize the internet (via laptop) to search a wide variety of topics including disability advocacy issues via Facebook, Instagram and other social media platforms.  Additionally, I play a variety of online games including word search or matching card games.

I am 71 years old and an avid reader; I read between 3-5 books per week.  I like to stay active and go to my park district health club 3 days per week, I walk outside for 2-3 miles 3 days per week.  I am a member of a Sunday afternoon bowling league and I like to get together with friends and/or family most weekends.  I love to cook, bake and garden which keeps me pretty active.  I try to complete AARP's Rewards quota daily by watching video (many of which I exercise with) and completing quizzes, playing games and learning new things.

I am long time crossword puzzle enthusiast and keep a book of puzzles handy to work on in any spare time that I have.  I also am a daily New Your Times Wordle player. I find word games of any kind to be mentally stimulating.
