Sure, our October issue (yes, the one in your hands or on your screen) is our Senior Living issue, but you don’t have to be in your “older years” to enjoy it and glean some valuable information.
Call it a heady question, but have you ever asked yourself, “Am I really living?” What do we mean? Answer this: do you wake up each day with something you look forward to experiencing? It could be going to work. It could be enjoying lunch with a friend. It could be relaxing at the end of the day with a good book or by watching your favorite television show. It could be planning a vacation. It could be cuddling up with the person – or pet – you love. Or maybe it’s enjoying a hobby. Flip to page 23 to meet three Berks “seniors” who love something so much they refuse to let it go and you just may gain a bit of perspective on life.
Also in this issue, we celebrate the arrival of autumn and the spooky fun of Halloween. Turn to The Look on page 18 for a great assortment of hats and caps you can find at Berks retailers. And on page 31 we’ve got a unique way for you to enjoy All Hallows' Eve in Richmond Township.
Admittedly, the past year has been a somber one for me. I lost my 13-year-old heart dog Buddha in November, and four months later and quite unexpectedly, my mother at the age of 71. It teaches you heartbreaking but valuable life lessons and shifts your perspective. Here’s to making the most of every day!
