A being of little word but great understanding! Some things never change. I love that about you! Hi! I'm only on for a second but as always, you speak the truth! I agree! Hugs and loves, always!
Missed you, Merlin. Unfortunately, I'm now around here much less for the next eight months, just peeking in once in a while. Lovely to see you back here.
Awww!!! Thank you Nom de Plume~ Life and other not-so-pleasant distractions seem to pop their heads up these days. I hope your next eight months are because of happy encounters and not dreaded situations. I look for you every time I am here and will continue to do so. It's always a pleasure to see your pen! Until we meet again, Take Care :) :)! Love, Merlin

Mental stimulation, access to new learning, new situations and frequent problems to solve. Plenty of social interaction, the more direct the better. A combination of exercise, healthy diet and adequate sleep. Cross stimulation through things like listening to and learning to play live music and learning a physical skill like a new kind of dance, craft or sport. Meditation, and learning how to maintain that specific type of awareness in daily activities. Avoiding excessive stress via living ethically.
