Savor Your Uniqueness
Why do we care about hair?
It’s ours and it’s us and it’s there!
We fuss if it’s straight, if it’s curly, we hate
To look furly, but it’s
Our “atmosphair”!
We often just wish we could change:
Our old clothes? A new nose?
It’s so strange.
It is best to just be our own selves,
Where our soul and uniqueness both delve;
There are no two “us” in the world –
Let’s keep floating free and unfurled!

Row, Row, Row Your Boat
Row, row, row your boat
Calmly up each stream.
Cheerfully, fearlessly, stay afloat,
Alive with Age Esteem.
Grow, grow, grow your roots
Deeply, with each dream,
Brightly, mightily do what suits
Yourself, with Age Esteem!

Emboldened By Age
Spring is the thing we
Should do as we walk.
Sing is to ring with our
Voice when we talk.
Sun is but one of our
Lights in the sky,
Fun’s how to come forth and
Feel satisfied.
Play is the way to find words
With your mind.
Display and relay good moods
And be kind!
Dreams are like reams of
Each Life’s daily page,
Esteem should be seen as
Emboldened by age.

Charismatic With Age Esteem
Charismatic: there’s a word
Of how you ought to be:
Charming with a talent toward
A great philosophy!
Upbeat and with an ageless smile,
Discrete and sweet, and all the while
Remembering that you’re unique:
One of a kind and at your peak
Whenever you achieve a dream,
While practicing your Age Esteem!

Rosemary For Healthy Aging
Rosemary is one of the most versatile and valuable herbs. Rich in antibacterial properties, it can also help to alleviate breathing difficulties when one has a cold. Leaves of the rosemary plant have antiseptic properties which can help clear sinuses.
Rosemary bath oil will re-energize the body. It is also thought to stimulate the growth of hair when applied to the head after shampooing and massaged into the scalp.
If used in cooking, as for example on lamb or other foods which have a lot of fat, it will ease indigestion.

Jubilee, Oh Jubilee
Jubilee, oh Jubilee
I hope your glee rubs
Off on me.
A state in which I’d like to be:
Jubilant with Jollity
(Even at my age: Eighty!).
It all depends on attitudes
Not straight laced with platitudes,
And furrowed brows
And unused vows,
But simple ways to Reign Supreme
Like a Queen – with Age Esteem.

Summer Age Esteem
Heat and Sweat are summer names
Pronounced apart, but spelled the same.
When it’s hot the sun just beams,
Showing it has Age Esteem!
It is much better to perspire
Than let your spirits all expire.
So sweat and glow
And heat your soul!
And never let your fire tire!

Dried Fruits For Healthy Aging
Even though dried fruits are a wonderful source of energy rich in glucids, they are also full of minerals, antioxidants, omega-3 and vitamin B.
Potassium, magnesium, calcium and iron are found in dried apricots, prunes, raisins and figs and some nuts. Walnuts are a wonderful source of omega-3, which is so important for heart health. Apricots, raisins and prunes are rich in antioxidants.
