Learning to Surf

The quote, “Y ou can’t stop the waves but you can learn how to surf,” (Kabat-Zinn)

popped up on my cell phone screen the other day. It

got me thinking about how much resiliency we all

need to make our way through the literal and

figurative waves we encounter throughout our life

course. Thankfully we don’t always crash, but

surely we all can be caught off balance by the sands

shifting underneath our feet and the waves washing

around us.

It seems to me that the best surfers among us

embrace their advancing age and find opportunities

for joy, adventure and fulfillment at every corner.

They are balanced, content and happy. Perhaps it is

their weekly exercise routine, volunteer work, yoga

class or regular lunch with friends that make the

difference. Maybe they have downsized, moved to

be near family, or have even begun a new and

fulfilling relationship after the loss of a spouse.

Making these positive choices are truly what builds

resilience when a wave catches us. It is much

easier to get up and go with the surf when other

parts of life are in a good place.

But what of those who have not learned to surf?

Ignoring aches and pains, not making plans to enjoy

retirement, not knowing how to downsize or being

unable to keep a large house in working order are

all things that can cause an older adult to crash and

lose a piece of their independence. Some of us

equate stubbornness or “I’ll do it my way”

behaviors with being independent. But in my mind,

that is just faulty thinking. An independent senior

is one who knows when to ask for help and who has

made a plan for aging in place. I want to encourage

those of you who have not learned how to surf to

dive in. It’s not too late to find out how you can

live well even as time marches on.

The good news for Beverly seniors is that the

Senior Center offers many of the very activities,

lectures and services that can help you learn to surf!

Here you will meet kindred souls and new friends

who are also learning how to be resilient and to be

masters of healthy aging. We can support your ef-

forts to enjoy each day and help when you find

yourself needing support. I have met so many in-

spirational older folks in the course of my work

here at the Senior Center. The surfers among us are

quite remarkable!

Speaking of remarkable, there is still time to

nominate a Beverly senior for the annual “Senior of

the Year” award. This should be someone who is

active, engaged and enjoying all that Beverly has to

offer. It is a person who embraces their age and

contributes to their community in meaningful ways.

Nomination forms are available at the Senior

Center and are due on June 8th.

I hope to see you soon,

MaryAnn Holak, Director

How Is Your Oral Health?

Oral health is an an important aspect of wellbeing that can often be over-

looked. The Gerontological Society of America (GSA) says that nutrition, socia-

bility, self-image, mental health, and physical health are all linked with one’s

oral health, so it is important to maintain a healthy mouth! A key component to staying

healthy is knowledge of proper preventative care, and some tips provided by

the GSA for maintaining a healthy mouth are listed below:

Using Powered Tooth-

brushes

Benefits include less wrist movement, larger handles, and rapid

rotation for removing plaque

Choosing the Right

Toothpaste

Most people can use a basic fluoride toothpaste, but if needed,

individuals can use toothpaste designed for sensitive teeth or dry

mouth

Using Floss Flossing helps prevent tissue inflammation and dental decay

Choosing the Right

Mouth Rinse

Fluoridated rinses provide more protection for older adults at risk

for dental decay, but other rinses are made specifically for dry

mouth or other conditions

Practicing Proper

Denture Care

Dentures should be brushed twice every day with a denture brush

and denture cleaner or soap and water, then soaked in denture

solutions or diluted acids and then rinsed

Seeking Professional

Dental Care

Routinely see your dentist, which is normally twice a year or more

if recommended

Elders at Risk

Do you know of a senior who is at risk of financial,

physical or emotional harm or abuse? Please let us

know. We can help you voice your concerns by con-

tacting Protective Services, follow up and take action

or offer services to improve and protect the elder you are worried about.
