Self-Care After Sixty: Should You Come First
Invest in Yourself for a Fulfilling Life: Here is an aspect of elderly person wisdom; Li Anhua, a woman from China, had always been too prudent to bring up children from her own heart and devoted all her life to bringing up her family. She therefore came to the rudest of shocks when they compelled her to retire from the job, only to find that she had not taken care of herself.

My Journey with Words
Words are not to be used frequently just because they can be, as the elder said once, “Speaking is like frosting on a cake – a little will do”.They reflect the moments of the characters’ lives and play an important role in shaping their relationships and emotions.

Journey from the Beaty to the beast
In the dance of sun and sky, a tale unfolds, Of warming winds and seas that boil and rage, Where once was balance, now chaos takes hold, As nature's voice cries out from every page. Glaciers weep, their tears a silent plea, For mercy from the flames we've lit below, The forests sigh, their breath a eulogy, For homes lost to the flames that grow and grow. But still, in darkness, there's a glimmer bright, A beacon of hope, a chance to mend our ways, To rise as one, to strive with all our might, And heal the wounds inflicted by our days. Let's heed the call, before it's far too late, To cool the Earth and calm its restless state.
