Sunset Love

I dont like the title article in the NZ Herald on Sunday Supplement is actually quite good. On page 3 of the supplement I am quote as saying
We are meant to be iving with other people. We are not meant to be alone". I believe this to be true.

While many people do choose to live in their own home and want to till they die there are some people who know they cannot manage on their own any longer and would love some company.

If a person is frail and mobility a problem then living with other people can help. Living with only your own thoughts can make your unwell. What you focus on is what you get.

I have seen so many people who come in to a residential facility with multiple health and disability problems that often is a very short time don't meet the profile received. While the health problems still remain the happiness scale improves teir health outcomes and they become less of an issue.

If you want to find out how you rate on the happiness and health scale go to http://www.attitudefactor.com/ and do the simple test. I scored in the top 43% of people who will still be alive in 21 years. What is your score. Give it a go.
