We all want to be loved. I think that’s a universal statement - and there aren’t too many of them anymore. But I think it’s safe to say we all seek love.
The month of September has been home to many historical events over the years. Here’s a look at some that helped to shape the world in September 1924.
“Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy” (Matthew 5:7).
Life is hard. It’s an election year. As if the election season tightrope between discovering your friends are idiots whilst being accused by your friends of being an idiot isn’t enough, I have a missing cat. My granddaughter accidentally left an exterior door open recently. Two of our indoor babies disappeared into the void known as under the house. Hazel turned out to be an easy snatch & grab. Sweet Polly, however, has forgotten she ever lived in this thing we call a home. She snapped back into a feral mindset faster than I can eat a Ghirardelli dark chocolate square with raspberry filling. That’s an extremely fast feat. I should know. My husband bought me a whole bag of the chocolate things to try and keep me from crying myself to sleep every night over the missing cat thing. While I pray that Polly will be back to her snuggly indoor self by the time you read this, we are about to cross into a very sad day three. Just when I thought I might need to eat a few more chocolate squares, my daughter-in-law popped in to remind me that today was the anniversary of another hard day. Today, nine years ago, is the day we flew to Georgia with a baby.

Healthy aging is a multifaceted process that involves an array of variables. Diet and exercise are two such variables, and each are intertwined. According to the National Institute on Aging, the amount of calories individuals over 60 need each day depends on their physical activity levels. Though all adults should aspire to be physically active each day, some aging adults may experience mobility issues that make it hard to move around. But activity levels can serve as a measuring stick for daily calorie intake. The NIA notes that the more active men and women over 60 are, the more calories they will need to consume.
High cholesterol is an issue that affects millions of people. Johns Hopkins Medicine says roughly 71 million Americans have high cholesterol. Recent Manulife drug claims data indicates the number of Canadians ages 19 to 24 taking medication for cardiovascular conditions has increased by 35 percent over the past four years, and the number of people 17 years and younger taking medication for cardiovascular conditions increased by 17 percent.
