Size: 8x6 in
My next wellness hack is: spend time with people who are NOT your age! This is my youngest grand daughter, who is (seriously she was JUST born!!!) turning 12 today and starting middle school. I spent some awesome one-on-one time with her this summer...going to used bookstores together, each buying the whole oeuvre of her favorite writer's work, and making a plan to read them and talk about them long distance over this next year. And then, we 'parallel-played' in my studio one afternoon; and as we both painted, we just chatted. I learned SO much about her. She is quiet, but confident. Introverted, like me, but super chatty one on one. She is seriously interested in ethical issues, and because of her voracious reading, knows a ton about weird diseases that most people have never heard of...and can pronounce them!!! All this is to say, if you want to 'up your hope quotient' (and I think 'hope' definitely promotes health) spend time with the next generation!!!
