New Year's resolutions are not something I enjoy, mainly because I fall short on those goals. Do you feel the same way? According to one study, about   80% of people who make New Year's resolutions   have given them up by the second week of February. Have you heard of  "Quitter's Day"?  January 19th seems to be the day most people quit their resolutions and goals, based on research from more than 800 million user-logged activities in 2019. I believe it is possible to accomplish those goals as long as you're being realistic. Start small. The smaller the goal, the bigger the impact it can have on your life and the more likely you will see it through. Whether it's self-care, learning something new, or just trying to be a better person overall, you can achieve those goals and a brighter future for yourself. I've come up with 50 NY resolutions ( with the help of some articles I read in  Woman's Day Magazine ,  Very Well Mind ,  and  The Pioneer Woman )

One of the stops during our trip to Arizona this year was a placed called Lake Havasu City .  Our Mom loves to visit there and a matter of fact goes there every year.  I can’t say that I blame her.  It was pretty quiet when Leroy, Mom and I were there earlier this year.  Of course, we were not there in top tourist season. We stayed at The Nautical Beachfront Resort.   The room faced the beautiful  lake.  Some days there was plenty to watch, people on jet skis and small boats. It was a little too cool for swimming. These were some of the decorative walls at the resort where we stayed. The moon shown bright at night.  I couldn’t resist getting the picture of the palm trees in the moon light. There are replica light houses from all over.  This one, which is one of many, is a replica of a lighthouse on Lake Superior.  You can boat around the lake or drive around to see them. Many people travel around the town and lake in four wheel drive buggies.  Lighthouses of Lake Havasu To get to the

Recently my husband and I went to Kentucky.  Why Kentucky you may ask?  I would ask too.  There are several places to visit in Kentucky.  The first stop we made was in Williamstown, Kentucky.  There you will find The Ark Encounter .  It  is a  model of Noah’ s ark and it is massive.  I guess it had to be in order for all those animals to fit inside. Ark Encounter   It opened on July 7, 2016.  We have  been wanting  to visit ever since.  Now that attractions are starting to open, I thought it would be a good time to  go.  And sure enough, it was the perfect time to go.  It was not crowded at all.   This ark is a sight to behold.  It is massive.  You really cannot fathom how big until you are there in person.  As you can tell the landscaping is aweso me throughout the exhibit.  Just take a look at some of the landscaping art I saw. There is an abundance of beautiful flowers.  Inside the  ark  is built for easy access with ramps as you go through the several levels of the ark.  There are

****UPDATED 9/2/23**** If you happen to be in our age bracket of 50+, you will love this blog post. It's all about DISCOUNTS!! Who doesn't love discounts? There are many perks to getting older and we are here to help you find them. I remember the first time someone offered me a senior discount and was highly offended. I'm sure it was because of my prematurely gray hair. The young cashier asked me if I qualify for a senior discount and I said absolutely NOT! I happen to be in my 40's, thank you very much!

For many companies on this list, the specific senior discounts vary by location, so be sure to check with your local stores to confirm discount availability. S
