Whether you’re looking for something entertaining to read, consider yourself a budding author and have words of wisdom or a funny story to share or have an interest in brushing up on your poetry skills you need to check out Your Good Life!
Started by a group of friends who live at a senior living community in Indiana, Your Good Life is a blog written by seniors for seniors. Weekly posts explore what life was like in the past, what it is like now and what it may be like in the future for today’s older adults.
You’ll also find a list of recommended readings as part of their online book club, which incidentally you can join, along with a series of poems written by readers including many that address contemporary issues. One of my favorites is “Isolation” by Mary Jane Baxter in which she ponders how being socially isolated due to COVID-19 may impact her life.
Speaking of favorites, if you want a hearty laugh you must read Gene Helveston’s post titled, “The Bag”. In it, he writes about the time when he had the responsibility to deposit the weekly offerings from the previous Sunday’s church services and the bank bag turned up missing.
Not meant to be just a passive experience, Your Good Life offers you the opportunity to submit a story or poem of your own, discover the benefits of journaling, start a memoir, share some meaningful photos and become an active member of their online community.
So do yourself a favor. Check out Your Good Life (https://yourgoodlife.org). I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
