Attitude,
Gratitude, and a Rose
Hey,
November 39ers, feeling blue with
another birthday this month? You know they come every year. The trick is to
listen to your mind, which invariably thinks you’re younger than your body-age.
That’s
why we choose to be 39 and Holding every year! You’re old enough to have
learned some valuable lessons, and young enough to keep that spring in your
step! So let’s celebrate with another UN-birthday month!
39er Fitness
and Fun
Welcome
to November, 39ers … the month of the year when we feel gratitude for simply
being here. Sound like a Pollyanna attitude?
Absolutely. But an attitude of gratitude this month and every day is a step towards more than
accomplishing goals—it’s a necessity for wellness inside and out.
Says the Mayo Clinic,
“… effective stress management is associated with many health benefits. If you
tend to be pessimistic, don't despair — you can learn positive thinking skills.”
Do it.
39 Years Ago
this Month ~ NOVEMBER 1979
November
9th: It isn’t often a screen debut
results in an Oscar nomination. While The
Rose may have been loosely based on Janis Joplin, Bette Midler owned the audience in her
first major film role. Which of course, didn’t hurt her singing career, as the
title track burst into the top ten at KFRC/San Francisco and around the nation,
in the early summer of 1979, to become one of her signature hits.
November 26th: Every wonder when we stopped Rockin’ ‘round the clock? Figuratively speaking, I can tell you, it was on this day in a command appearance for Queen Elizabeth II. It became Bill Haley & His Comets' final recorded performance of the infamous song, “Rock Around the Clock.” Tick tock.
For 39ers who
Follow the Stars
…
Though
Scorpions may be a mystery to many, those who work to discover the key to these
enigmatic people will witness the magic within. Friendly but introspective and
creatively planning Scorpios (Oct
23 – Nov 21) will figure you out in a heartbeat, but it may take years (if ever)
for you to get where they’re coming from. Your honesty and integrity will help.
On
the other end of the Astrology spectrum, meet an energetic,
lead-follow-or-move-out-of-the-way, ambitious Sagittarian
(Nov 22 – Dec 21), and life will be much easier, albeit very busy. They often
have a larger-than-life presence (think Jupiter—their ruling planet) and can’t
wait to get to the next adventure. Always spoiling for a party, it’s a good bet
they’re already ensuring New Year festivities are on target.
With
the power of three (+) Zodiac enlightenment symbols to draw from: Scorpion,
Eagle, and Phoenix—Scorpios are naturals
at coordinating elements of life; though implementing may prove a tougher
challenge. Sagittarians, however are
focused as they take aim and hone in on the horizon. Charge!
Aging with ATT-i-tude Platitude
What you do from this day forward is a
result of your attitude about what went before and the anticipation
of what awaits you. Love it—live it. ~ L. Rochelle;

Holding Club, Blast from Your Past, and Penchant for Penning.
Great cheese and wine need
aging, but 39ers know Age is Just a Number … LIFE is ATT-i-tude!TM
