Daily Alchemy: a question to think on together
“If living longer means more years of struggle for many people, what does a good long life actually look like to you?”
Trust ranks through the site stewards' curated lens.
Strange curveball: I used to be all about probiotics and fiber and I’ve been trying enzymes instead…getting better poo results and feeling better. Did some reading online about how the pancreas makes enzymes, gets worse at it as we age, AND (to my surprise) said that eating too... Dude I really appreciate the inquiry this is part of why I just stay clear of this space. I have no idea what’s good or not! Kinda like Nat’s hydrogen water post.... - PoetBill...
Reflecting upon my 70 years on this planet. The tough times and my mental health issues (bipolar and anxiety) have made me stronger. I have a number of close friends which enrich my life. I have enough income for the basics and for enjoyment as well as savings.... - Cg123...
I believe that as I age I find my heart yearns for others to embrace this trust in the world, society and in one another. We have been distracted far too long from what we are, how we got that way and seem impatient with change.... - Donny...
- onI'm visiting my family this weekend and staying in my parents' home. I always appreciate spending time with them. But it's also hard seeing them struggle with health issues. I wish I could do more to help them. They're the type to medicate first, which isn't my preferred first course of action. My suggestions often fall on deaf ears.

Do you find the energy and courage to mount another step or perch with or without satisfaction on this little step while others tried on by.... - onWhat do you wish more people truly knew, understood, or acknowledged, about the realities of senior care and living in senior community facilities? Examples: compassion, challenges, emotional toll, financial strain, etc. Residents, families, staff, leaders/admins; all perspectives welcome. Tell your story, and encourage others to participate.

Reality seems less real to me these days. How have we as a society allowed so few to have so much and so many to have nothing? I am 61. I am truly failing in every aspect. My health. My relationships. My finances. My sanity. Every moment is a struggle. I am suffering. Greatly.... - Lesakisses...
I watch very little t.v., news mostly, weather mostly, and I never take my phone to work and use it only to call my 94 yr. old mother or make a little extra money taking surveys. I am old school,but was a lover of video games which I finally disconnected from. A Sabbath?... - Godless Guru...

Adding to EMF discussion: These concerns change with age. As i get older and have less time in this body, i start to worry less. For example, have not used microwaves for food for almost 30 years and just this past few months have said: F**k it....
