Seniors have seen many changes
from society to their own bodies
Seniors ... born before television,
plastic, contact lenses and frisbees!
In their time, rock music!' was
Grandma's lullaby and having a
meaningful relationship meant get-
ting along withtheir cousins! June
is Senior Citizens Month. What
better time to consider the changes
seniors have seen and to celebrate
the strength of seniors as survivors

Change in our society today, is a
constant. It seems as though
everything is changing faster all the
time. Those people who are. fifty

previous generation. Transportation

society, older people also face age-
related changes. Eyesight, hearing,
balance and coordination all change
as a natural result of aging. There is

• Be optimistic! Change is often
unavoidable. Without it, life would
be dull.
Growing older brings both
rewards and challenges. Most
seniors do see the later years as a
time to relax, develop new interests
and enjoy. life. No one can'
completely avoid or prevent the
stress of change. Just remember to
use your strengths to deal with the
changes of life.
Make the most of your abilities
and develop a happy, healthy lifes-
tyle. Look at change as a challenge
you will meet head-on. The key
ingredient in coping is attitude.
Keep a positive outlook and enjoy
life!
