Here are some pretty flowers I saw at the supermarket recently. I love those spider chrysanthemums (the green ones):
I received a free copy of a new magazine called 'Good Times' which is a retirement magazine. I enjoyed reading it and am thinking about subscribing. There was at least one interesting article saying that people in their fifties should start planning their retirement. It said retirement is not something passive, it should be thought of in almost the same way as planning a future career based on your hopes and dreams and what you love doing. At least that is what I got out of the article. I never thought about it like that. It profiled a couple ages 59 and 61 living happily. 
Then I thought, those savvy marketers must have targeted me to receive this free magazine! Yes, it's a very unsettling feeling.
Included with this magazine was a flyer recommending us to ask our doctors for our shingles vaccine. This seems to make a lot of sense. It says one in three people will develop shingles especially if you've had chicken pox (which most people have had). So have you had your shingles vaccine and/or do you think you'll get one?
