AsSaLaMuAlAiKuM !
Having started blogging just a few days ago, I checked on some of my students, family and circle of friends. Just to know what they're up to and if anything new is happening somewhere. I learned that they too have started blogging or will be starting to blog soon. That's good news. See...blogging is one way of staying connected with your family, friends and loved ones. I remember reading something about having regular social contacts with friends and loved ones as being the key to avoiding depression, which can lead to premature death. This is something that's particularly common among the elderly. Some psychologists even think that one of the biggest benefits elderly folks get from the strong social interactions that come from walking with a buddy or taking a group exercise class. Having a daily connection with a close friend or family member gives older folks (and younger ones too) the added benefit of having someone watch their back. They'll tell you if they think your memory is going or if you seem more withdrawn, and they might push you to see a doctor before you recognize that you need to see one yourself. SaLaM.
