Before Global Volunteer Month slips away, we’d like to give one more shout out.

There are so many of you who log on, stop by, lend a hand, help someone figure something out, or show up when it counts, including the guests on Aging Rewired.

Thank you!

When you were younger, living alone was a sign of independence. For older adults, the opposite if becoming true.

Would you ever consider having a roommate again?
It might not be the first solution that comes to mind, but it’s becoming a practical and meaningful option in the face of rising expenses.

The reality of living alone allows shared housing to become a different type of support system. It can help ease financial pressure while providing companionship, routine, and a renewed sense of community at home.

It’s definitely not one-size-fits-all but the value the options bring are worth a second look.

What if one activity could help you stay active, meet new people, and be guaranteed fun? There’s a reason pickleball courts are packed with people of all ages, even those in their 80s.

If you’ve been curious about Pickleball, we have the run for you. See why this sport has become the fastest-growing sport in the U.S. for years:

What’s a small “aging moment” that made you stop and say… wait, what just happened?

[Senior Planet @seniorplanet]

Aging comes with a few surprises… Not the kind you plan for, but the kind that show up during completely normal moments.

Standing up. Sitting down. Turning the “wrong” way. It’s all part of the experience and sometimes you just have to laugh.

👉 Virge captures the observations perfectly:
