MALM: You have to go to this program – The Sun Chronicle

When I think of how many years I avoided the senior center, I am ashamed of myself and especially as I have been learning and writing about the Changing Aging Tour: Lifes Most Dangerous Game that is coming to Patriot Place next Thursday (June 15). Every one of us should be there, because its going to be an exciting program and we can contribute so much to it with our upbeat and forward looking outlooks.

My first thought was that our senior center is so far ahead of the game. I, who was very very hesitant to get involved with those older people, now find myself almost furious when I talk about a trip or something Im doing at the center and get a reply like OH, I never realized they did ... whatever.

While we are on the cutting edge in so many ways, including the cross-section of exercise programs and community dinners, outside speakers, old time movies, and even the latest being a memory caf, we still have some ideas and contributions to make. Our most common complaints seem to be transportation and wanting to stay in our home and our town thus developing our own Angie type list.

I have been reading tons of information on Dr. Bill Thomas innovative approach to aging and the tremendous strides he is making along with Savan Petersons input in making these changes happen.

Dr. Thomas is really looking to improve things for us, but more important is asking us to make life better for all the baby boomers who are not may years away from this step of adulthood. Why not share the good ideas we have and also pick the brains of others to improve this period in our lives today?

I love the caf. It seems free for the most part of negativity. Talk could be about gardening nutrition, some place we are going to be traveling ... all positive and upbeat. If you are looking for a doctor or place for physical therapy that comes in also. What better way to start my day with exercise and then some socialization at the caf We seem to laugh at ourselves.

So bottom line, you will see I have written a news story giving all the information in a short news story that includes the essential informationbut I could personalize my thoughts (although many journalists do so today ... what I oppose) and I want to scream This program is absolutely fantastic! We just shouldnt miss it.

(If I am wrong, I will invite everyone to my house for lunch, drinks etc. and write a public apology like I did after I took my first trip with the seniors to Texas)

Make sure you get tickets on the first-come first-served basis. We can get more tickets if needed. Now that is off my chest, go read more about the program. Looking forward to seeing you there.
