Are you still in the game…

Love

I can’t physically show you the love of your life, but I can share the beautiful song “Love of My Life” by Queen. This timeless ballad, written by Freddie Mercury, captures the essence of deep love and longing. Perhaps listening to it will evoke the feelings you associate with your special someone.
Remember, love is a unique and personal experience. Cherish the moments you share with your loved one and let your hearts connect on a deeper level.

According to Statistics Canada, a 70-year-old in Canada can expect to live another 15.2 years on average. However, this is just an average, and individual life expectancies can vary widely depending on factors such as lifestyle, genetics, and access to healthcare.

While less common than smaller age gaps, relationships with a 20-year difference can certainly work. The key factors for success in any relationship, regardless of age difference, include:


* Shared values and goals:

A strong foundation built on shared beliefs and aspirations.


* Open communication:

Honest and respectful dialogue to address issues and maintain intimacy.


* Mutual respect:

Valuing each other’s perspectives and life experiences.


* Emotional maturity:

The ability to handle challenges and conflicts in a healthy way.


* Strong support system:

A network of friends and family who understand and support the relationship.
It’s important to note that societal perceptions and potential challenges may arise with larger age gaps. However, if both partners are committed to the relationship, these obstacles can be overcome.
Ultimately, whether a 20-year age gap relationship works depends on the specific individuals involved and their ability to build a strong, loving connection.

It happens

The Canada 2024 Day was observed on Monday at and about the band shell at central park. The Doug James band invited 3 hours of music ending at 3:00 p.m.. There were many kids that enjoyed the water and the playgrounds while some parents and grandparents took in the music and the displays including a Merritt Country Capital of Canada tent, face painting the mobile art van from the Arts Council. The park entrance was guarded by two fire trucks and a number of first responders welcomed people to the park in the parking lot. Symmetry seemed to be in vogue as people were often in red and maple leafs were abundant giving a sense of connection.

Have a great year

Happy Forget me not Day.

Today is National Get Over it Day,

On National Get Over It Day, on March 9, people everywhere are encouraged to self-reflect and move on from whatever it is that’s weighing on them. Created by Jeff Goldblatt — an entrepreneur who was having trouble getting over an ex-girlfriend, the day has its roots in failed romance — something that’s very challenging to get over! Realizing his pain was relatable, Goldblatt made a website and posted a poem. The rest, as they say, is history (the relationship included). Today, let’s take some time to self-reflect, figure out what’s weighing us down, and decide that the past should live in the past. Let’s get started and get over it!
