According to my own Google search, “On average, Google handles 3.8 million searches per minute across the globe. That comes out to 228 million searches per hour, 5.6 billion searches per day, or 2 trillion searches per year! That's a lot of searches!”

This week's top searches? Not surprisingly, with the passing of Queen Elizabeth, all things related to British royalty top the list. Coming in a close second is the start of the NFL season this weekend.

What do you search for on Google? Recipes? Song lyrics? How to unclog the kitchen sink? (Yes, yes and yes!)

It got me to thinking... now that we're all well into Midlife, have our questions changed? Maybe your list looks like this:

• How do I sleep through the night?
• What's the best remedy for lower back stiffness?
• Why do I seem to keep gaining weight?
• Help! I have to pee all the time! (and where is the nearest public restroom?)
• How do I cope with the stress of caring for my spouse? An aging parent? My grandchild?

You get the idea. Sometimes our searches are for fun, sometimes the topic is more serious. Whatever it is, Google is ready with the answer in the click of a mouse.

Just for today, let's pretend I'm Google. Since this community was founded to focus on Midlife Wellness, what are the things you'd like to know about aging well? I've got some great ideas for 2023, but I'd really like to hear from YOU!

Please take a minute to send me an email with your questions and concerns. I may not be as fast as Google, but I'm a really great listener!

Don't forget... Midlife Yoga classes meet every Wednesday at 9:00 AM on Zoom. You can register here.

Until next time,

Rosemary
