Dr. Luks has very informative tips about aging well. It's worth it to check out and follow his page.

For those in midlife and later,
this truth becomes even more important:
your body doesn’t respond to intensity alone.
It responds to rhythm.
Stress and rest.
Demand and repair.
Challenge and compassion.

Easy days aren’t laziness.
They’re biology.
They’re where your muscles rebuild,
your joints recover,
your hormones rebalance,
your energy returns.

They’re where the training takes hold.

So honor the work
but honor the space around the work, too.
That’s where resilience grows.
That’s where longevity is built.

Do you suspect a senior you know may be suffering from adult abuse, neglect or self neglect? I am the volunteer Invermere Community Response Network coordinator. Here is information about how you can help. This includes extreme clutter situations.

If you were worried about an older adult, would you know what to do?

Many people notice when something feels wrong but aren’t sure how to help.

The good news is that small, caring actions can make a big difference.

Here are three simple steps anyone can take:
- Pay attention – Notice changes in mood, behaviour, or living conditions.
- Reach out – Start a friendly conversation and listen without judgment.
- Get support – If you think someone may be at risk, contact your local Community Response Network or call the Seniors Abuse & Information Line provided by Seniors First BC at 1-866-437-1940.

Every caring action helps build safer, more connected communities.

🎉 October 1st is National Seniors Day, and today we celebrate older adults across British Columbia.

Seniors are community builders, mentors, storytellers, and advocates. They share wisdom, life experience, and a sense of connection that benefits us all.

From raising families to volunteering, from protecting traditions to shaping new ideas, the contributions of older adults strengthen every part of our society.

At BC CRN, we are grateful for the leadership, care, and resilience of seniors who continue to make a difference every day.
