We made February all about self-love, so we asked our members what they loved the most about themselves. Here are some of thier responses:

My smarts – because I’m able to easily navigate forms for seniors (free).

I love my past accomplishments, my sociability and humor, my Christian religion, my writings. Reason I love myself: I love what God loves and He loves people, including me.

I love being the 13-yr. old kid (me) who started a journal in Jan. 1957. it’s still running, and has been my “did that, learned this” guide to a resilient life at 77.

That I am fit, 56 years to get this way.

This month we asked members a question that many of us have been asking ourselves:

“If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?”

Here’s some of the responses we received:

“New York City, my favorite city”

“I would go to Bhutan. It is a very different and the government tracks the countries gross national happiness. In certain parts of the country the paint phalluses on their houses to bring good luck, all due to a mad saint!”

I would go back to Coronado, California where I used to live”

I would travel to German, the country of my birth. I never experienced much of it when I lived there during my first 16 years of my life. Even though I have lived in Canada for the past 65 years, I do get homesick for the “old” country. You can take me out of Germany, but you can’t take the German out of me”

We asked members:

What is your favorite Holiday treat and why?

Here’s some of their responses:

Mini quiches, easy to eat bit sizes. Great for an hoilday.  

Pear buche de noel. It’s light chocolate roll, moist, light and delicious  

Buttery and rich shortbread cookies have been at the holiday festivities year after year. Seeing and enjoying the secret family recipe shortbread triggers many good memories; of my great aunt that baked and distributed the tins of cookies every December, of family, and of ritual and traditions.  

Thank you for sharing!

We asked our members what they remember that isn’t around anymore. Here are some of their responses!:

Bachelor suites that were $400

The milk man, delivering milk to our homes in glass bottles.
