Thank You For Your Service - Veterans Day 2024

Sometimes we take for granted our freedoms CURRENTLY protected by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. in the United States - or perhaps, we simply are unaware of how fortunate we are as a nation.

I want to personally thank the men and women who protect out country so I can have (and ENJOY) these privileges - which include:

Freedom of Speech: The First Amendment guarantees the right to express opinions and ideas without government restraint.

Right to Bear Arms: The Second Amendment allows citizens to keep and bear arms.

Freedom of Religion: The First Amendment ensures the right to practice any religion or none at all.

Right to a Fair Trial: The Sixth Amendment guarantees a fair and speedy trial by an impartial jury.

Freedom to Marry: In the U.S., you can marry whomever you choose, regardless of gender.

Right to Privacy: The Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches and seizures.

Freedom of the Press: The First Amendment ensures the right to a free press.

Right to Assemble and Protest: The First Amendment allows people to gather peacefully and protest.

These freedoms are fundamental to American life and are not as broadly protected in many other countries.

Thank you for your service.

Til Death Do Us Part (Broken Heart Syndrome)

I have a friend who recently lost her mother and shortly after her father (I am talking about weeks from each other).

While that seems like a horrible sad story - I think it's 'romantical' (in an interesting way) - it's really a 'Til Death Do Us Part' - marriage or biological connection.

Interesting Fact - here are a few couples/people that died shortly after of each other:

• Romeo and Juliet
• Johnny Cash and June Carter
• Anna Nicole Smith and Daniel Wayne Smith
• George H.W. Bush and Barbara Bush
• Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh and Queen Elizabeth II
• Kate Spade and her father Earl F. Brosnahan Jr
• British Prime Minister James and Audrey Callaghan
• Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher

As a person who is 'ALMOST SIXTY' it's nice to see these types of relationships.

Have you witnessed (or experienced) the 'Broken Heart Syndrome'?

Words of Wisdom - From The (Slightly) Older Lady (Part 1)

What's absolutely wonderful about being 'Almost Sixty' is that I've learned a few things along the way - 'Words of Wisdom':

You Can't Be All Things To All People...
..but you may be able to influence a few.

The great thing about getting older and having life experiences with people (some good - some bad) - is that you 'Cannot Please Everyone' - a powerful quote from Michael Porter - so don't even try.

Would you believe...

- Some people won't like you because you are an 'optimistic person'
- Some people won't connect with you because you look toward a positive future'
- Many will 'make fun' of your healthy relationship with your family and friends
- There are a few that will purposely try to block any advancements you are planning for
- Believe it or not - many of these people are in your close inner circle (that's right - people you are in touch with every day)

Simply put - 'You can't make everyone happy - I REPEAT - YOU CANNOT MAKE EVERYONE HAPPY!'

We - the people that are 'Almost Sixty' have learned (hopefully) that you cannot 'People Please' - especially when you are trying to create something better.

So what do you do?

Continue on - life will take care of those people (hopefully helping them see life in a positive life).

What are your thoughts? I'd love to get this conversation going.

How Much Sleep Does A Sixty Year Old Person Really Need?

Years ago, folks said as you get older, you don't need to sleep as much. However, new studies within the last 3 years indicate that an 'aging' person, actually needs the same amount of sleep as a twenty, thirty, or forty year-old person - which is seven to nine hours a night.

How much sleep do you get per night?

Dude, Where's My Car? (Having That Horrible - 'Senior Moment')

Like many people, especially those of a 'certain age' - you go to a mall, supermarket, movie theater - you park your car - and you FORGET WHERE YOU PARKED.

Some folks would say - 'You're having a SENIOR MOMENT' - for me, I just need to have certain 'landmark areas' where I can find my car easily (there so many RED RAV4 out there).

Kinda embarrassing having that look on your face - 'Crap, Where Did I Park'.

Has that happen to you?

Welcome To Almost Sixty... Where Life Truly Begins

My name is Joleen Colpa and my name is Yocasta Bianconi, and we are the founders and co-founders of AlmostSixty - a social community where folks of all ages can communicate and discuss matters related to people who are around the age of SIXTY.

This could be a family member, friend – or YOU!

Conversations will focus on specific subject matters that move beyond surface-level topics and delve into shared feelings, thoughts, and experiences.

It involves vulnerability, honesty, and a willingness to explore personal meanings and perspectives.

We are hoping that these deep conversations will lead to stronger bonds with our maturing community and a deeper understanding of ourselves and others.

Nevertheless, while these discussions are important and sometimes serious - we will always add levity and humor to make this channel fun for everyone.

Joleen and I are by no means are GURUS or EXPERTS - but we would love to BE YOUR GUIDE.

I am Joleen Colpa and my name is Yocasta Bianconi - and we are AlmsotSixty!

Let's get started.
