May is recognized as Older Americans Month and, since we serve local seniors, we thought it would be fun to create an activity you can do to share your story. Every day we make our mark in this world. Sharing our experience is one of many ways we can connect with our loved ones, even when we can’t be together in person.

Many older adults suffer from chronic diseases, such as heart conditions, type 2 diabetes, arthritis, and cancer. These diseases are serious, but they don’t have to keep your aging relative from leading a full and active life. When seniors follow the advice of their doctors and take steps to keep symptoms under control, they can feel better and more able to participate in activities they enjoy.
