It’s NOT just about quantity👨‍🏫!

Greetings!  We sure hope this blog post finds you in amazing health with your Medicare insurance coverage 🏥 working properly😄.

Email Gray, Gray@TheBig65.com or book a time on my calendar if you are having issues with your Medicare plans or you’d like to shop your coverage.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Gettin’ old ain’t for sissies👴😖😂!

After more than 20 years as a Medicare Insurance Broker, my perspective on aging has changed.

It’s not just about quantity…

It’s more about quality.  Of course we all want to live a long life, but what’s the point if the years aren’t filled with joy, purpose, and good health?

Instead of just counting the years, let’s focus on making each year count.

Prioritize Connection:

  • Spend time with family and friends.
  • Join community groups or clubs that align with your interests.
  • Reach out to old friends or make new ones.

We just reconnected with two of our former exchange students and their family in Puebla, Mexico. It was so delightful to catch up on their adventures. These two boys are growing up!

Move Daily:

  • Incorporate enjoyable activities like walking, swimming, or gardening.
  • Try yoga or stretching to keep your body flexible and strong.
  • Even light exercise can boost your mood and energy.

One of the reasons we enjoy travel is that everyday, we get in a lot of steps. Quantz got to practice her vertical leap just after this picture was taken when she realized this crocodile on the table was still alive!

Nourish Your Body:

  • Focus on whole foods: fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats.
  • Stay hydrated and limit processed foods and sugars.
  • Enjoy occasional treats—balance is key!

I’m happy to report Dry January ended on February 1st. When you visit your local Mexican restaurant, ask them if they serve Micheladas, beer, clamato juice, Worcestershire, and other ingredients. It’s delicious.

As my Dad used to say, “Everything in moderation, even moderation😂.”

Find Your Purpose:

  • Volunteer or mentor others—sharing your wisdom can be fulfilling.
  • Take up hobbies that bring you joy and a sense of accomplishment.
  • Set small, achievable goals that give you something to look forward to.

My purpose is to help as many people as I can with their Medicare coverage and to see as much of the world as we can while we are still healthy enough to enjoy it.

You NEVER know when that will change, right? Make the most of each day.

Our Air Force son is now based in Sicily and he’s started skiing again. That smoking volcano behind him is Mount Aetna. Let’s hope it doesn’t blow😳😨!

Remember, it’s not just about adding years to your life, but life to your years. Let’s make every moment count❤️!

Keep squeezing the juice out of life and look for ways to help others!

If family or friends need help… referrals are the lifeblood of my business.
