Creating Connection Through Technology
As we age and the pace of life slows down a bit, we might seek out and value simple things, like connection and comfort, a bit more. Often, however, family and friends may be spread out across miles, which can make that comfort and connection a little harder to come by. The Thrive Center in downtown Louisville is dedicated to finding ways to help people stay comfortable, active, and healthy as they transition to the later stages in life, and have formed partnerships with a number of companies that are focused on fostering a sense of connection through technology. Their showroom offers opportunities to explore a wide variety of assistive and consumer technology that can help us maintain connection and comfort as we grow older.

Take Comfort, The Winter Issue Is Here!
Don’t sink too far into that big comfy chair, because something is likely to change. Change doesn’t have to make us uncomfortable, but usually it does. Once we get used to a new direction, off we go trying to find a place of balance and comfort. Maybe it...
What does it mean to “Be of Good Cheer?”
When things go wrong, that’s the time to be of good cheer. When things go right, of course we are cheerful. When nerves are getting frayed, that’s the time to smile. Even if you have a bad day at the office, or a very busy day at school, that’s no cause for your courtesy to fail, for your consideration to fail.
My Goal Is…
Throughout our school days, we learn about the importance of setting goals and taking the necessary steps to achieve those goals. But then, somewhere along the line as adults, life happens and our goals often take a backseat to fussy babies, the 9-5 workday, and home repairs. Once things quiet down a bit, we may realize that the goals we had before don’t match our current situation; we are no longer the people we were mentally, emotionally, or physically. When we do take the time to reassess, we need to be flexible and modify goals because of the changes we’ve undergone over the years.
Boost Your Health With Omega-3
Kate Boston, registered dietician and owner of Cultivate Your plate, encourages her clients to get as many vitamins and minerals by eating whole foods, but individuals who don’t like fish may find it more difficult to get omega-3 fatty acids into their diets. Omega-3 nutrients have huge health benefits, including decreasing triglycerides, managing blood pressure, and improving brain health. “They help decrease risks of heart disease and prostate and breast cancers,” she says.
Passing Along Great Gifts
It is not just rich philanthropists who show their benevolence. Most people become grandparents during mature adulthood, and their reputation is well known for showering gifts, privileges, encouragement, and guidance on their grandkids. Other people in mature adulthood volunteer their time on grand juries and school boards, or devote countless hours to community organizations that support the needs of individuals at all stages of life. During mature years it simply becomes easier to be benevolent since this is the peak age for the accumulation of wealth. Mature years are also the period in life when one generally has both the good health, and the time to devote to worthy causes.
Getting a Helping Hand with Household Chores
Remaining in your home as you age can be challenging as physical and mental limitations make simple household chores difficult. Mopping the floor, washing windows, doing laundry, raking leaves, or dusting can be overwhelming. Every individual has their own set of abilities and limitations so it’s important to recognize what...

Dating Today: Are You Emotionally Unavailable?
Do you find yourself in relationships where the person you’re dating (or you?) is emotionally unavailable? Do things start out strong and then fizzle out quicker than you’d like? Do you wonder if you could have done something differently, or wonder if it’s YOU that is unavailable? Either way, it hurts and is frustrating when you’re trying to find your person. Healthy relationships involve open communication, vulnerability, and reciprocity — which aren’t necessarily strengths of people who are emotionally unavailable.

Goal Making: Imagine Your Ideal Life
Throughout our school days, we learn about the importance of setting goals and taking the necessary steps to achieve those goals. But then, somewhere along the line as adults, life happens and our goals often take a backseat to fussy babies, the 9-5 workday, and home repairs. Once things quiet down a bit, we may realize that the goals we had before don’t match our current situation; we are no longer the people we were mentally, emotionally, or physically.

Tap Into Your Garage’s Potential
In every living space, there’s a place that holds all your stuff. For some, your unused knick-knacks end up under your bed, and for others, it’s that dark faraway corner of your closet.

According to one survey, Americans revealed their garages to be so cluttered that they couldn’t even fit a car in the space. So, if your clutter is taking up valuable garage real estate, here are some tips on how to stop the stuff and reclaim this space as your own.

Don’t Wait To Be Scared Into Action
Something frightening can get you motivated to make a change, but maybe there are other ways to turn your inner desires into action. We are motivated by things inside of us — a desire to create, to build, to provide, to help — but often we are sidetracked by the tasks of life or by fear of rejection.
