Great ideas

• The best thing to do for yourself is to always do, read, discover, see something NEW - big or small - every day. It has to be new, not just enlarging on things you already do.
• The best thing you can do for everyone else is to encourage them to do the same!
• If you come across someone who says those terrrible words  "I'm too old for that" - don't get fizzy at them just gently show them how. The world will be a happier place when we are all talking to each other and realising that we are best working together.

1. Get on to the internet to see what is happening in the world. If you do not have a computer, you can often go to your local library OR look up your local seniors group Or contact your local council to find if there is a Computer Pals or Computer skills group near you OR find a friend / family that can help you.
2. Get a free HOTMAIL email account and access it from anywhere
3. Get a free Twitter account and look and see who you like. ONLY follow legitimate people. Start small and only "follow" legitimate people. You can "unfollow" them if you don't like it.
4. Get a free Facebook account. Start by setting your privacy at friends and family only. Only add "friends" if you know who they are. Practice until you can confidently and safely start looking outside your inner circle.
