Everytime I go to a place of buisness where an angry person cashes me out I always think the same thing. “If you don't like the way your life is going, simply, change it!” There are so many reasons to love your life...

Love Your Life For The Ones You Love:No matter what you think, there are people out there that love you and care. They want to see you succeed. Picture their faces, imagine their happiness. Believe in them and believe in yourself.

Love Your Life For Everything You Already Have:We all have so many reasons to be happy for and we often take things for granted. Being a person of Gratitude has the power to change your life.

Love Your Life For The Friends You Have:You have loving people who care about you, whether you realize it or not you do.

Love Your Life For All The Journeys You've Had And Are To Come:Life is full of journeys, and in my opinion the more we take the better! Cherish those special times you will never forget.

Love Life For Your Ability To Help Others:I believe everyone is on this earth for a reason. We all have specific skills and abilities that can help make the world a better place.

Love Your Life For Tomorrows Sunsets and Sunrises:Tomorrow is another day! Forget the trials and tribulations of today and move forward strongly. We never can be sure what the next day will bring, and that is a blessing in itself.

Love Your Life For The Health You Have:We often take our health for granted. Love the fact that you are here and able to read this. No matter what your current state of health is, if you are reading this you still have the ability to impact others and make a difference.

Love Your Life For Having An Unknown Future:If we all knew what the future held, life would no longer be interesting. Push yourself each and every day to accomplish your goals and dreams and make them become a reality.

Love Yourself For Everything You Have Accomplished:Many people tend to cut themselves short. You have accomplished much in life whether you realize it or not. Take some time to sit back and evaluate what you have done.

Love Your Life For Every Second You Have:This is our life, and all we can know for certain, is that this is all we have, all religions aside. We can either make the most out of this life, or not. The choice is up to you.

Cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 killer in North America, so it's never too early to start paying atten-tion to your health and taking steps to protect your heart. Everyday changes to your lifestyle can make a big heart-healthy difference.

Butt out for heart health!

Most important, quit smoking! The ill effects of ciga-rette smoking and tobacco use in general, most impor-tantly on the heart and lungs, has clearly been proven that when you quit, the risk associated with prior tobacco use steadily decreases with time. It’s never too late to stop.

Eat breakfast for a healthy heart

One of the reasons everyone believes that breakfast is the most important meal of the day may well be that it signals your body that the day has started. The body needs predictable habits. Make sure it's a good break-fast with mainly protein and natural fiber not just empty calories from simple carbohydrates and satu-rated fat.

Get a good night's sleep for your ticker

Rest is one of the ways our body energizes itself for

daily activity. Consistent sleep time and duration is one of the predictable habits our mind and body depend on to function at their best.

Get moving to boost your cardiovascular fitness

Beyond your routine of daily walking or stairs, try for more structured exercise as well. People with better aerobic capacities, in better shape, tend to live longer, more healthy lives and reap both physical and mental benefits.

Eat healthy for your heart

A healthy diet contains not only the proper foods but an appropriate caloric intake. Cutting calories from simple carbohydrates and substituting good fats (polyunsaturated) for bad fats (saturated), increasing natural fiber and eating more fresh fruits and vegetables is a good start.

Track your food portions for heart health

Americans tend to eat few but large-volume meals and often snack on unhealthy foods. We would probably all benefit from smaller but more frequent meals and healthy snacks.

10 Everyday Heart-Healthy Habits

Keep hydrated for a healthy heart

Many people think they should drink eight glasses of water a day -- but coffee, tea, juice and soft drinks are 95 percent water, and many foods also contain substan-tial amounts of water, so this belief is simply not true. But don't skimp. Inadequate hydration may lead to a number of symptoms and problems, including dehydra-tion, decreased blood pressure, electrolyte disturbances and fatigue.

Get outside to refresh your heart

We need fresh air and sunlight, especially in the north-ern and less sunny parts of the continent. Getting enough of both may help avoid vitamin D deficiency and the associated winter blues.

Drink moderately to avoid heart disease

There is significant data that indicates mod-erate alcohol intake decreases the risk of

heart attack and improves prognosis after it -- moderate intake being the equivalent of a shot of distilled spirits, 12 ounces of beer or a large glass (eight ounces) of wine a day. It's an important part of the diets of many regions such as France and other Mediterranean coun-tries, that have populations with significantly lower heart disease rates.

Take time for yourself and your heart

It seems everyone is busy all day long, working, talking, texting, driving the kids from here to there and the list goes on. Sit down in a quiet place, take some deep breaths or practice some modest relaxation exer-cises, and relieve your tension and stress. After all, even a well-tuned machine or athlete needs a little rest or re-conditioning.

Deriving the Most Benefit from Your Next Medical Appointment

With limited time available to spend with your physi-cian, it is important that you are as prepared and orga-nized as possible prior to your medical appointment. Here are some tips on preparing for your next medical appointment:

Prior to Your Next Appointment

Write down and prioritize your questions, with your most important questions at the top of your list. This will be a lot easier than memorizing your questions and will help prevent you from forgetting something signifi-cant you want to discuss with your physician. You will find it helpful to bring along the following items with your list of questions: A pen and paper to write notes, your insurance card, cash or a credit card for co-payments, address and telephone number of physician’s office and glasses if needed.

Medical History

Bring along any significant health information pertain-ing to the following: family history, known allergies, major illnesses, surgeries, hospitalizations or any abnormal test results.

Recent Diagnosis

If you have recently been diagnosed with an acute or chronic health problem educate yourself about the health condition. Your research may assist you in not only understanding what information may be provided to you by your physician, but will help in coming up with specific questions to ask your doctor.

Symtomology

If you are experiencing any unusual symptoms or feel different after taking a medication or treatment, docu-ment this information. Your documentation should include when your symptoms began, the frequency and what improves or worsens your symptoms.

Medications

Bring a list of all medications you are currently taking including prescription, over-the-counter, vitamins and herbal supplements. Your medication information should include the dosage, frequency and reason you are taking each medication. To decrease to costs of your medications, ask your physician if you can safely substitute less expen-sive generic medications for brand name medicines that you are taking. If your doctor prescribes new medications, ask him/her if they can give you samples.

Bring Someone Along

Consider bringing a close friend or relative that can accom-pany you while your physician is speaking with you during the entire exam. This person could take notes for you while you are communicating with your physician, avoiding the possibility of you becoming distracted.

Resources

If you need additional information and resources about your health condition, request this information from your physician or someone from the office staff. Ask about community resources [support groups, lectures], medical equipment and specialists. If your condition is chronic, you may want to go on the web to see who has written articles on your medical condition.

Timeliness

If it is your first visit to this physician’s office, give your-self enough time to find the office and for parking. This will help you to be on time and more relaxed for the appointment.

Be Honest

Probably the most important piece of information one can give is to be honest with your physician. If you have been having unusual symptoms, like blood in you urine or stool, do not hide this information from your physician. Your symptoms may be early signs of a disease process that can be treated and managed before it

Mary Lou Miller is a lovely, lively senior citizen who learned about the Generations on Line program from her neighbor who was taking lessons at the time. She came to the Amarillo Senior Citizens Association to talk to the peer coach who was assisting with the computer lessons and decided she would sign up.

In recent years Mary Lou had moved from Austin to Amarillo and was “starting over” at a lot of things. She thought that learning the computer might possibly help her find a job which would certainly increase the quality of her life as she is on a limited income.

Mary Lou has enjoyed learning how to do e-mail and how to search on the internet. She is very appreciative of how patient her peer coach Chuck has been with her as she ventures into the new world of computers and the internet.

She is looking forward to being able to stay in closer contact with her siblings, several of whom live in differ-ent states.

Mary Lou is a high school graduate who pursued further training as an LVN and worked in nursing for many years before retiring. Due to some medical restrictions, it would be better for her to find a job where she could be seated the majority of the time. She feels as if a job involving computers usage would “fit the bill”.

Ms. Miller is enjoying herself as she continues her lessons and would highly recommend that other senior citizens enter the world of computers and the internet if at all possible.

If you would like to learn more about this program please contact the Amarillo Senior Citizens Association and ask about the Generations on Line Program.

Keeping In Touch

If you are raising your grandchildren on your own, chances are you're busy enough without having to worry about taxes. Alas, as one of the two certainties in life, you'll have to start thinking about them come tax time, which may seem daunting if there have been changes in your family since last year. But don't worry, while there are costs to raising children, there are financial benefits as well, which you may remember from raising your own kids!

The IRS will give you money back just for having a child living in your home. There are three federal tax credit programs that give extra money to people who are raising children: the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), the Child Tax Credit and the Child and Dependant Care Credit. Tax credits are better than tax deductions because you can subtract a tax credit from any federal income tax that you owe, while a deduction only reduces the income that you use to figure out the taxes you owe. Basically, a credit keeps more money in your pocket.

There

are age limits for the children you claim when you take any tax credit. If your grandchildren are full-time students, you can claim them as dependents until they turn 24. If not, you can only claim them until they turn 19. If any of your grandchildren have a disability, they can qualify at any age.

The EITC is for low-income families. It is not necessary to be raising a child in order to qualify for this program, but people who are can get a bigger tax break. There are restrictions, however, as to how much money you can make in order to qualify for the EITC. If you qualify for the EITC and you have at least one child at home, you can receive advance payments in your paycheck, which could be very helpful. All you have to do is fill out a W-5 form at work. To learn more about the qualifications for this credit, see IRS publication 596.

If your income is too high to qualify for the EITC, you may still be eligible to receive the Child Tax Credit, but don't plan on getting any money back if you don't owe any taxes. Your grandchildren must be under the age of 17 and they must be claimed as dependents on your federal income tax return to qualify for the Child Tax

Credit. Until 2008, you will be able to take a $700 tax credit for each child who qualifies. In addition, if

you are raising three or more grandchildren, you may be able to get the Additional Child Tax

Credit, which would give you an even greater tax break.

The third tax program that may be able to assist you is the Child and Dependent Care Credit. This tax credit helps families pay for childcare so the guardian can work or look for work. You will not receive a refund if your credit is greater than the

taxes you owe, but the amount of your credit will depend on the number of

children you are raising, your income and how much you pay for childcare. Your

grandchildren must also be under the age of 13 or have a disability to qualify for the Child

and Dependent Care Credit.

Some states offer their own earned income tax credit, as well as a child and dependent care credit. To find out if your state has a program, call your state department of revenue.

Tax Tips for Grandparents Raising Grandchildren

You've been blessed to live for a long time, and your dating life is far from over. Here are some tips on dating for seniors: Dating again can be an exciting and invigorating experience that keeps you young at heart.

Know Your ExpectationsTake the time to think about what you want from dating. Are you looking for a long-term relationship, or are you just looking to meet new people and have fun? If you know what you are looking for, it will be easier to find.

Though you may be nervous, your age is more of a benefit than you know. You have more life experience and will know more about what to look out for, both positive and negative. Dating after 50 can be even better than dating in your 20s.

Telling Your ChildrenThough you may be keen on dating, some people may have a hard time coping with this, especially grown children.

Make sure to tell your children yourself. You don't want to bump into them at the movies or have someone else tell them that you are back on the market. Explain to your children that your feelings are normal, and that you want to live life to its fullest. If they

become upset, try your best to be understanding.

Many times, if adult children or even friends are upset about this decision, it is because they worry that you could be emotionally hurt or that they will lose you from their life. Try not to argue as you discuss the situation because you want to affirm how they're feeling without compromising your decision.

Tips on Dating

Age DifferencesThough you may be open to dating, people your own age may not be. You should be prepared for the fact that you may end up dating someone younger than you. If you are on a date with someone younger, try not to act condescending or patronizing. Be aware that the age difference will be noticeable, but that it doesn't mean you should write a person off.

Also try not to go too far in the other direction by exclusively going after people younger than you. You might be surprised by dating someone in your age range.

If you decide to date someone younger and you have children, they may be upset, especially if the person you are dating is even younger than they are. A common cultural stereotype is of the young woman chasing an older man for his money, and your children might think that someone younger will take advantage of you. Be respectful of their feelings, understand that they may need some time getting used to this new development and listen to them if you have a sneaking suspicion that their concerns are valid.

Where to Meet PeopleThink about the kind of person you want to meet and plan activities that correspond. If you want to meet someone who reads, try visiting coffee shops, joining a book club or even going to the library's poetry readings. Additionally, if you want someone who is fit, think about looking at the gym, your local pool or a nearby park. Also, if your religion is especially important to you, think about participating in your religious organization's activities; you may end up finding someone with similar values.

You could also try online dating, which allows you to browse a number of different profiles and meet people with only a few clicks of a mouse. Dating Web sites give you more control over who you meet, and you can search for people based on age, sexual orientation, career, religion and many other interests. Just be sure to post a current image and a profile that reflects your personality.

If you decide to start dating after 50, you don't have to start bungee jumping and dyeing your hair pink. Don't change your personality to fit some image or perception you have about dating. You can be yourself and act your age, whatever acting your age means to you, and still find going out with new people fulfilling and successful.

Where to Go and What to Talk AboutYou may have been out of the dating world for quite some time and have no idea of where to begin. Remember that dating is rarely easy for anyone, no matter their age. Once you have met someone, choose a public place for your first meeting, and set a timeframe for the date. This way, if you do not end up wanting to pursue this person, you will have a built-in reason for leaving. Choosing a public place is a safety precaution and a casual way to begin things. You want to start slow. Having

a date at a stranger's home raises a safety concern, and it also implies an intimacy that you have not yet secured.

If you go into your date prepared with questions, the experience can end up having a positive end. Keep the subject matter of the conversation light. Ask things that you want to know: Career, family and interests are all common first-date topics. Though you may want to talk about how nervous you are about dating again, be careful of this. You want to come off as confident and sure of yourself, not as skittish and insecure.

Talking About the PastIt's okay to talk about the past with your prospective dates, but you do not want it to be the main topic of conversation. You are opening a new chapter in your life. Because you are older, you may have several past relationships and may even be widowed. This extra baggage may be hard to navigate, but there does come a time where you should try to set it aside, acknowledge it exists and move on in order to get to know your date.

Everyone should eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. But most of us end up throwing away some produce because it becomes spoiled before we eat it. Follow these steps to help keep your produce as fresh as possible.

Step 1:Shop smart Buy only the produce that your family likes and will eat. There's no use to stock up on the fresh cabbage that is on sale if everyone hates it. Consider whether your grandkids take fruit in their school lunches or if you will use it in recipes. Keep in mind that many fresh fruits won't store well for longer than a week (except apples). So shop accordingly.

Step 2: Buy from the farmers' market

If possible, head to your local farmers' market. The fruit and vegetables will

be much very fresh (generally

picked the

same day). At some grocery stores, produce has been picked weeks before.

Step 3: Store it in the proper place Berries, grapes, plums, carrots, cauliflower, lettuce and

spinach all belong in the refrigerator, while apples, bananas, tomatoes, citrus

fruits and many other fruits and veggies can

be stored on the countertop.

Some fruits can ripen on

the counter and then move to

the refrigerator such as avocados, peaches

and kiwi. Mushrooms

and jicama should be stored in paper bags. Potatoes and onions

should be in cool, dry environment -- not in your fridge.

Step 4: Separate the ethylene producers Apples, cantaloupe, bananas, figs and others are ethylene gas producers are should be kept away from other fruits and vegetables to avoid spoilage.

Step 5: Use the crisper Your refrigerators should have special drawers

or crispers to keep your produce from spoiling.

How To... Keep Fruits And Veggies Fresh

You've probably been emailed countless "safety tips for women" from friends or family members looking out for your best interests. You may already be aware of how to avoid putting yourself in a dangerous situation or how to react if you find yourself in one, but it never hurts to remind yourself of the steps to take in order to keep yourself safe.

Women are often seen as easy targets and attackers use many of the same tactics to lure them into their webs. Keeping the following tips in mind will help protect you and maybe even save your life.

How to Avoid Dangerous Situations

Parking lots are a prime area for women being attacked. If you find yourself shopping late at night, park as close to a lamppost as possible, be aware of your surroundings, walk with purpose, look under, in between and inside your car, and immediately lock your doors once you are inside. Don't waste time checking your packages, playing with the radio or making phone calls in your car; leave as soon as you lock your doors. If you're too afraid to walk to your car by yourself, ask the store for an escort to walk you out.

Don't park next to large vans. If you happen to find one next to your car after leaving a store, especially one

without any rear windows, enter your vehicle from the passenger side. It's very common for attackers to pull victims into their vans while they are trying to get into their cars.

Always lock your doors while driving. Police officers have reported that many attackers enter a woman's car with a drawn weapon while they are at a stoplight.

Also while driving, never pull over when a man motions that something is wrong with your car. Wait until you can safely stop at a well-lit gas station to check out any malfunctions. If something really is wrong with your vehicle, you probably have more than enough time to find a safe place to stop.

Stop being nurturing and sympathetic. It's in our nature as women, but this is how many serial killers and rapists trap their victims. It's a common ploy for predators to act like they need help in order to make women vulnerable, so even though you may feel guilty, be wary of men asking you for help to their car.

Even if you don't like them, get a cell phone. You can get a cheap one just for emergencies and it will definitely come in handy if you break down on the side of the road or end up in a vulnerable situation.

Safety Tips for Women

If you find yourself being followed while walking in a dark area (which you should avoid at all costs), yell "Fire!" instead of "Help!" It's believed more people will respond to the warnings of a fire, rather than get involved in what they may view as a personal dispute.

If you have a run in with an attacker who pulls a gun on you, do NOT get in a car with them. Odds are they don't want to shoot you or draw attention to themselves, so run screaming from the violator and they will more than likely run away as well. If they do shoot, it's reported that they only succeed in hitting their target four in one hundred times and even then, it's unlikely they will hit anything vital.

If a mugger approaches you, throw your wallet or purse away from you and run in the other direction. Never hand anything directly to them.

If you are ever grabbed, remember that the elbow is the strongest point on your body, so if you are close enough, use it. Also, the eyes are the most vulnerable part of the body, so if possible

poke you assailant as hard as you can there.

If you are thrown in the trunk of a car, kick out the back taillights and stick your arm out of the hole and wave it around. The driver won't see you, but other people on the road will.

If someone jumps in the car with you, it is recommended that you deliberately drive into a solid object such as a tree or pole. Your airbag will more than likely protect you and you will succeed in drawing attention to your situation, while surprising and/or hurting your attacker.

It's an unfortunate fact of life that women are viewed as easy targets, but if you take the necessary precautions and know what to do in case you are attacked or abducted, you can prevent any irreparable harm from coming to you.
