I feel kind of strange writing this post, because, for the first time in my life, I don’t have a pet.

Offering a compliment, helping a neighbor or volunteering your time can create a virtuous cycle. Let’s talk about some of the many benefits of random acts of kindness.

No matter how strong we are, we all feel sorry for ourselves once in a while. To a certain extent, this is natural. After all, by the time we reach our 60s, we have a lifetime of “mistakes,” problems and worries swirling around in our minds. Unfortunately, while self-pity is natural, it isn’t terribly productive. In fact, I have come to the conclusion that feeling sorry for yourself can actually prevent you from taking the positive steps necessary to solve your problems. So, today, I would like to offer 10 positive suggestions for fighting back against self-pity. Come join us for a cup of tea (or coffee) and a chat.

One of the things that I have noticed since starting the Sixty and Me community is that the happiest women among us are the ones that have found meaning in their lives. Some of us find comfort in a religion or spiritual belief. Others donate their time and treasure to political, environmental or social causes that they feel make the world a better place. Still others find meaning through their relationships with their friends and family. Everyone is different, but, we all need to be needed. We all need to feel like our lives matter. So, today, I would like to talk about how to find meaning in your life after 60. Come join us for a cup of tea (or coffee) and a chat.
