May is Mental Health Month
News You Can Use 🙂
Below is a nice message from the Mental Health America website, which brought a smile to my face. As we age, we can learn that a positive outlook can help us adjust to the aging process, which can be quite challenging. Embracing this mindset not only fosters resilience but also enhances our ability to navigate the inevitable changes that come with time.
“This year’s theme — More Good Days, Together — encourages us all to reflect on what a “good” day looks like, both for ourselves, and for our communities. Together, we can use that insight to connect people to the right support at the right time, and shape advocacy, education, and community engagement to make more good days possible for all.”
Here are some links that may be useful for your own well-being 🙂

Senior Citizens Should Drink Water :)
Always, News You Can Use 🙂
This post is FYI – AGAIN – 🙂 because – most of us want to make sure that we hydrate our bodies, which seems to be especially important for senior citizens – right? AND with the Holidays coming up – And VERY HOT days, it is important to maintain stable body temperature.
Staying properly hydrated not only aids in maintaining energy levels but also plays a crucial role in overall health, particularly as temperatures rise. Anyway, I found some information on Sparkling Water and the Do’s and Don’ts. Many of us find the regular water out of the faucet boring – but it does have benefits, such as being calorie-free and cost-effective. Sparkling water can provide a refreshing alternative, making hydration feel less like a chore and more enjoyable. Perhaps mixing in some fresh fruits or herbs could enhance the flavor further. Maybe this post will help you hydrate with more than one method, ensuring you enjoy every sip.
Now for some reality checks. As I was researching this topic, I found some very important reasons Senior Citizens need to hydrate and pay attention to their water intake. Just click the links to learn more.

Another Milestone Celebrating African American History
News you can use 🙂
It is February 28th, and the celebration of Black History Month is coming to a close. However, today, the United States Postal Service (USPS) unveiled a new stamp that pays tribute to the remarkable history and legacy of Harriet Powers, an iconic figure in the world of African American art and storytelling. Powers, who flourished during the 19th century, is best known for her beautifully crafted quilts that depicted significant events and narratives from her life and the broader experiences of African Americans.
This stamp not only honors her contributions to art and culture but also reflects the enduring spirit and resilience within the African American community as we celebrate the 100th anniversary of various important milestones in their history. Harriet Powers’ quilts are considered treasures that narrate powerful stories, weaving together threads of history, faith, and community.
For those interested in delving deeper into Harriet Powers’ life and the historical context surrounding her work, I invite you to tune into my podcast Judith Guerra Wellness Connections. In this episode, I provide her early history and, insights into how Powers influenced contemporary art and culture. Additionally, I’ve included a selection of links in the podcast details to help you further explore the impactful legacy of Harriet Powers and the broader narrative of African American history.
Join me in celebrating this significant occasion by listening to the podcast and discovering how the stories of individuals like Harriet Powers continue to inspire and educate us today. Together, we can honor a vibrant culture that has significantly shaped the fabric of our nation.
