The family’s here, it’s so much fun,
So much to do, so much we’ve done.
We’re in! We’re out! We’re here and there,
The dishes wait, but then, who cares!
I try to act like I’m sixteen
(That’s when I practice Age Esteem!)
Life borders on the near sublime
It’s good to pay no heed to time!

What Health Information Should I Believe?
It seems that many findings that are reported today show that studies have proven that just about anything is beneficial to good health. – Eggs, coffee, and even sunshine.
It may be a bit confusing, and, of course, there should not be an excess of any one of these. However, it seems safe to say that with more sophisticated and modern technologies used in these studies, the results can be trusted.
You should also keep in mind that in a few years from now perhaps foods that are good for us today will not be considered so in the future.
What should one do? Have faith in the studies but be very sure that the source of these findings is reliable. Who knows, maybe one day cookies and cakes will be found to benefit your health. If only!

Shine Like A Star
As Life hurtles by like a star
It’s here, but its end is not far,
So why not shine bright
While there still is some light,
And sparkle and be singular!
We all have our moments of gloom,
In what’s called our small “worry room”.
If you open that door
Your problems will soar
And resolve and dissolve all that doom!

How Do You Define Health?
How do you define health? If we wish to be healthy as we age we need to define what it means. The definition given below is also a good definition of age-esteem. – The difference being that you can have age-esteem even in the presence of disease. Age-esteem is dependent on a positive attitude toward life in all circumstances.
Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.

Lemon To Keep You Trim and Healthy
The lemon is a miracle food for losing weight. This is due to its richness in vitamin C. Recent studies have found that the more vitamin C there is in the blood, the fewer fats will be assimilated in the body. This improves the circulation in the lymphatic system and eliminates cellulite and firms up the tissues in the skin.
A regular daily addition of lemon to your food should do the trick. – Squeezed lemon on boiled vegetables, lemon juice in vinaigrette instead of vinegar, a slice of lemon in a glass of water and other means that you can think of.
Surprisingly, lemon becomes alkaline when in the body and will balance to some extent the excessive amount of acid which is found in just about all other foods that we eat such as fish, meat, eggs and certain fruits.
Eat lemons daily to keep you trim and healthy as you age with esteem.

Life is like an endless voyage:
A one-way ticket to each age.
No boarding pass or reservations
Are needed traveling through Time’s “stations”.
If your conductor is first rate,
And your mind’s view is just great,
The panoramic years will seem
Enhanced by living Age Esteem.

Coffee For Age Esteem
In the course of one year, 150 studies have shown that coffee can have a positive effect on diseases such as cardio-vascular disease, cancer of the digestive system, diabetes, Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s. Even dry eyes have been known to improve by drinking coffee.
Of course, one must not over indulge, but two to three cups per day is suggested.
It is not sure if it is the caffeine or other substances in the drink which are so beneficial. What does seem certain is that coffee is good for you.

The Unique You
A splash of new perfume
A wave of pin-curled hair
A blush of rouge to bloom
To make you think you’re “there”!
But artifact is not the clue
To seeking disappearing youth
The way to keep the unique you
Is to practice Age Esteemeth’s Truths.

Happy Mother’s Day 2013
What is your favorite memory of your mother?
In several countries of the world, today is dedicated as Mother’s Day. It is a day to honor our mothers and to recognize all that they have done and continue to do for us.
I would like to give a special thought to the single mother who is juggling motherhood with working to earn an adequate income, often entailing more than one job, to clothe and feed her children.
I would also like to recognize the Grandmothers around the world who are raising their grandchildren.
Let us celebrate all who are acting in the role of Mother, whether temporarily or permanently.

Not a mother? Read on.
This week-end we will honor mothers. Mothers are the breath of life. We are born from the womb of our mother.
However, she may not be the one who is there to raise us. For numerous reasons we may be raised by someone who did not give birth to us. – And this person becomes our mother, the one we turn to for oh so much in life.
Even those who do have a mother in the home are often raised at least partially by someone else. We have many mother figures in our lives. These are women who guide, mentor, encourage, support and advise us. They are our role models for relationships, work, finance, education, health, and savoir-faire. These women are equally precious in our lives.
Are you one of these women? Then you too are to be honored on this Mother’s Day. You have an opportunity to make a positive difference in the lives of young girls and women of all agesthrough your example and your interest in helping them become confident and to reach their greater potential. – And there is no age limit for this.
Women with age esteem mentor other women of all ages.
