medical ethics. I visited evangelical homes on Tuesday with Aisha for our orientation. We talked with the staff and toured the facilities as we learned more about the community. I was surprised at how nice the facilities were and the degree of freedom the residents had. As I have never been to a memory care facility for the elderly, my idea of elderly care was formed by what is shown in the media. In Happy Gilmore, Happy’s mother is in a prison-like retirement home where the staff is rude to…

I firmly believe that age is only a number, so I don’t plan on allowing getting older to slow me down. The strategies for reaching the successful aging stage will consist of maintaining good nutritional habits, moderate level of…

more miles to go before I sleep. Whether, the last quadrant of my life is a long or short one, I pray that it will be a sweet one. Retirement is having the time to do what I've always wanted to do - without feeling guilty about it and I'm thankful to the dear people in my Department who have been reminding me, 'Beth, you have earned it, you deserve it. Happy Retirement." In the midst of my days of rest and bliss, may I remember the words of David in Psalms 39:4 KJV: LORD, make me to know…

Imagine going to sleep at night and waking up in a new time era. For example, the 1950’s. What would your life be like? It would be very different from the structure of today’s world.
