It will feel clumsy at first, but if you use these positive affirmations to counteract any nay-saying your inner critic comes up with, your inner dialogue will change for the better. You will have developed the habit of positive self-talk. Write down new affirmations as they occur to you, and keep adding to the list. 1. I can try new and exciting things. It doesn’t matter what age you are – new, exciting opportunities await all who are brave enough to try them. Let your adventurous side out. 2. I can learn new things to broaden and strengthen my mind and abilities. Maybe you’ve been wanting to try a new activity or visit a new place. What’s holding you back? Go for a challenge and see what happens! 3. I will be refined by age instead of declined by age. To be truly refined by age, one must be intentional about working on the seven dimensions of wellness in their lives: emotional, environmental, intellectual, physical, social/cultural. 4. I expect to feel good physically. Pain is a clue that something is wrong, not a sign that you’re aging. If you feel pain, see your doctor to get a diagnosis and proper treatment. 5. I am a relatively happy person unless there is good reason not to be. Emotional health is important to be refined by age. If you are down for several weeks for no apparent reason, it’s time to see a doctor. 6. I am strong and capable. Staying physically active and eating a healthy diet will keep you strong and healthy. When you are strong and healthy, you can continue to enjoy your independent lifestyle. 7. I am confident and deserve respect. We all deserve to be respected, even if we don’t always agree with others or are different from them. Show your confidence and don’t let anyone treat you otherwise, regardless of your age or abilities. 2 2018 MARDI GRAS ROYALTY KREWE Royalty | King & Queen Neil and Mary Early Royal Krewe Diana Sanchez, Urie Lee, Maggie Labove, Mary Kaltenbach, Carrie Rideau, Benny Caesar, Kenneth Maxson, Bettie Nixon Vendors: Registration forms can be found at http://beaumonttexas.gov/departments/parks-recreation/best-years-center/ under the Annual Senior Mardi Gras tab.

  • Neches River Festival LXXII the River Is Calling
    Neches River Festival LXXII The River is Calling... April 14 - 25, 2020 Overview and General Information Beginning in 1949, the Neches River became the focal point for this community to celebrate our high school youth during the Neches River Festival. That tradition continues and each year lifetime memories are made by the Festival participants as they close the chapters of their youth and prepare for exciting futures. This year’s Festival theme of “The River is Calling” will celebrate our shared region, rich in history and resources. We have many exciting activities planned for you! The popular Friday night parade returns and continues to expand with additional participants and surrounded by a public street party—all in downtown Beaumont. The Get Acquainted Dance, for high school juniors and seniors, follows the conclusion of the parade, a costume-themed event that remains one of the most anticipated events of the Festival. And, this year marks the 2nd annual “Capes and Crowns” 1k/5k run. The Festival season will also include a River/Service day which highlights important aspects of our community—economic, environmental, social and cultural. Continuing a tradition started a few years ago, Festival participants will “connect and serve” by collecting and donating children’s books to promote reading and literacy in our community. These books will be placed in existing Royal Book Nooks across our city. Two new nooks will be created in honor of NRF 72 and will be installed in new public sites. Additionally, during the magical season, a long time civic leader is honored, as the Citizen of the Year, a King is chosen, and the celebration culminates with the Coronation of a Queen and her court at the Julie Rogers Theatre.
