AARP Rewards Community Learning & Earning Contest August 2022

Games, online and in-person, are you favorite activities for keeping my mind sharp. I am also learning Italian.

I love to play online word games. Wordle, Quordle, Spelling Bee,and word connect are my favorites. I also enjoy playing all types of games with my family.

I do play games online. I like the match 3 games, solitaire, mahjong, and all different kinds of card games. I'm a cashier at Menards and that really keeps my mind sharp. I'm a loner and my job forces me to interact with people which is very much needed.

Our local Senior Center has an entire page in the N/L each month with puzzles.  Occasionally there is a contest with an entire booklet of puzzles & brain teasers.

To keep my brain active & engaged I do sudoku,  wordle, and other games. I also read and teach Science, Technology, Engineering & Math concepts to K-5th grade students. 

 @cjr 261                   To keep my brain active is an ongoing daily task that includes weekly lawn care and gardening as my exercise. Stress relief from listening to my AARP videos  Word games such as Word Search  the daily WORDL USA Today puzzle page and also Word Jumbo calendar.  But best of all is when I can not only learn but earn my AARP points for future rewards A complete workout that is fun and healthy 

I love working my puzzles in the morning, in particular soduko, word jumble sometimes a cryptogram. I go to the local Y for exercize classes and a swim 4 mornings a week. I love looking through my grocery shopping apps and compiling my weekly deals which is a good brain exercise! It is also a benefit to my wallet. When I am able I do some of the things I mentioned in the fresh air and sunshine. I also garden which clears my mind.

I consistently read the news and any information pertinent to political or the economic growth of the world. I make it a point to stay informed at all times of different things that are happening in my community or neighboring communities and/or the world

I faithfully play  brain games every morning (after meditation) before anything.  The daily meditation also helps me focus.  I walk for 15 minutes after lunch and again after dinner and have weekly movement classes - TaiChi, Pilates, Moving For Life.  A small group of friends and I go for nature walks, usually where there's water, every Sunday.

I trade stocks almost every day which means I must read about the company, understand the financial condition of the company , and read what other analysts say about the company. I am disappointed when the weekend gets here and the markets are closed.
