Welcome to our monthly Newsletter and greetings from Orleans, Massachusetts the home of At Sixes and Sevens Multimedia, Inc. 

We draw your attention to a report from the Center for an Urban Future.  All the recent growth in New York city's population aged sixty-five and older is attributed to foreign-born people.  These folks raised the total number of residents by 30%.  The number of Asian-born grew by 68% between 2000 and 2010.  Diversity is everywhere!

               

             Cures for Mind and Body

"You have to take care of yourself.  Training your brain to deal with challenges and to avoid a smooth life should be a goal of living each day between aged sixty and eighty."

"The challenges don't need to be dramatic but they have to be recognized and positively embraced.  A prime example is modern packaging.  Plastic containers that can't be opened without a tool and jar lids that resist even when they are heated under hot water are basically not suited for use unless one has a plan for opening the container."

"Instead of ranting about the problem of obstinate  and unnecessary packaging take a smoothing and self- soothing attitude.  Laugh and outsmart the packaging villains through preparation and industry. Initially don't ever expect ease.  Expect to have to use ingenuity.  That package with a layer within a layer of plastic could also have glue or staples to secure the shoelaces!"  Accept that any and perhaps every package is designed to make life difficult.  And, whatever you do, don't ask for help. Take the time you need to enjoy the fun!"

A new robust period of adult life has emerged. It has been created by a rapidly increasing demographic of people aged sixty to eighty years old. They have both resources and time. They are active and experienced.  They are healthy and expectant of a long, interesting life.  They seek connection and enrichment, in traditional and novel ways.

At Sixes and Sevens, Inc. we want to make it easier to find ideas and information about and of interest to this community.  We seek to encourage people's productivity by offering ways to interact with the pace of change in this new life stage. We foster the inspiration of a vibrant peer group that enhances peoples' own active lifestyle.
