Sunday a week ago I was privileged to attend commencement ceremonies for San Diego State University’s College of Education and Division of Undergraduate Studies.
Along with seeing my American Association of University Women friend, Stormy Miller, receive her Doctorate in Educational Leadership, I delighted in viewing a new generation of graduating teachers and counselors cross the stage to receive their diplomas.
As many of you know, click here education and long life have a lot in common. “Education exerts its direct beneficial effects on health through the adoption of healthier lifestyles, better ability to cope with stress, and more effective management of chronic diseases.”1
Even if we didn’t graduate from college, we now have homework assignments. As students in the Happy Longevity School of Life let’s continue our education by reading thought provoking books, enrolling in classes and attending lectures in new parts of town. Brain cells will be stimulated every which way possible. Wondrous rewards await us. WF!

I agree that education can have an effect on ones health…there are several ways to find that…OASIS has some wonderful programs. Adult continuing education in many subjects.
Also, as I do, “VOLUNTEERING” at the Mission Valley Library for the last 6 years, I have met the most interesting, knowledgeable people there, plus many friendly people who travel and share information from their trips.
I might mention that I work out with 8lb weights and run on a trampoline, of which I have worn out 3 “tramps” over the years. will be 88 on the first of June 2016.
