5 Ways to Find the Perfect Passionate Partner in Your 60s

Looking for the perfect passionate partner after 60? Certain things have to be in place for a relationship to be passionately compatible.

1. Spark
Love at first sight is strictly the pheromones jumping. For a long-term passionate relationship to work there has to be an initial spark on both sides. Gradually the flame gets stronger. Remember though, if the flame is too big and hot to begin with you will probably get burned!

2. Self Evaluation
What does the perfect love partner look like to you? Does it mean having sex 3 times a day or once a week? Does it mean sitting on the sofa holding hands or maybe going for a walk together but keeping the sexual part of a relationship very low key or even non-existent? Or possibly a perfect partnership for you requires constant heated discussions about every topic with your partner. It’s important to know how you define passion and then look for a person who has the same needs and passion.

Are Your Signs of Dementia Real or a UTI?

This is a true story of something that happened to the author’s mother.  Luckily there was a positive outcome but it could have been very different.  UTIs (Urinary Tract Infections) affect both men and women of all ages.  In the elderly it may be diagnosed as dementia because of the mental confusion and incontinence that can accompany the infection.  For more information check out Health Canada’s website http://bodyandhealth.canada.com/channel_condition_info_details.asp?disease_id=234&channel_id=2015&relation_id=95775     

“You don’t understand.  They’ve taken all my money and I’m broke.  I made bad decisions and now I haven’t got anything left.” The elderly woman stood timidly near her bed, picking at invisible lint on her nightie, her eyes darting quickly around her room, looking like she was preparing to run.

The younger woman moved to stand in front of her. “No Mom, you’re fine.  Everything’s still the same.” Or was it?

Susan had arrived from the airport after hurriedly packing and flying out on the earliest flight she could arrange that morning.  It turned out her mother had a number of falls, falls that no-one was aware of until now.  Susan received an email from her daughter Paula saying something was wrong with Grandma. She got the email minutes after returning from a month in Mexico.  She knew Paula would keep in touch with everyone while she was away and take care of any issues if necessary.

 A quick call to Paula confirmed her concerns.

Secrets to Sexiness in Retirement

I’m 65 but I still try to stay feeling as young and sexy as I can.  There are times though when it’s a struggle.  I keep telling myself that old age is really only in my head but there are days during the winter when the aches and pains settle in as much as I try to avoid them.  My first thought is why am I here and not in Mexico or the Caribbean where it is warm?

Then there are some instances when stress makes me feel older than I am.  I’ve allowed an event to control me for a number of months instead of advocating for myself.  As a result I dealt with my first ever panic attack and ended up in the hospital thinking it was a heart attack.  Thank goodness it wasn’t but it was a wake-up call.  I still get panic attacks out of the blue but they are much less severe now that I know what they are.  I’m also using my medical resources to work through the stress that is causing them. 

It’s work staying young but it’s worth it in the long run.  My life is full and enjoyable.  I have good family connections, great friends, and a fairly healthy lifestyle.  I try to keep a smile on my face and do fun things occasionally.  Even though I’m dealing with these new health issues I’m taking time to enjoy life.  I was out with girlfriends at a party awhile ago. We had tears rolling because of the laughter and that felt so good.
