Today we celebrate the establishment of the United States Air Force on September 18, 1947, by President Harry Truman. While there were different branches of the military that incorporated aeronautical pursuits in their tactics, the establishment made by President Truman was the first formal separation of the Air Force as its own entity. Today, on its 73rd birthday, we want to thank the men and women who currently serve in the Air Force, as well as its veterans!!

Ashton Applewhite coined the term "ageism" and she has a lot to say about the topic. One of the reasons why I believe her message is so important is because she acknowledges that we are all different & ageism like any prejudice is very harmful because we group a population together and make assumptions. She points out that we don't have to be sky diving at the age of 70 in order to be aging well. Science is showing that our views on aging has a lot to do with whether we will get Alzheimer's and it influences our level of happiness. But it's difficult to have a realistic view when our culture tells us so many negative aspects about aging. Applewhite does an excellent job of acknowledging the natural physical decline while pointing out that we should not allow ageism to create barriers that don't exist except in our culture. You have power & it's up to you of whether you choose to exercise it. This is a short podcast but I had the pleasure of meeting Applewhite & hearing her speak. She is authentic & she has many resources to choose from if you are interested. Paula Banno, Director of Lifestyle at Lifespace Communities.
