By IAIN MAYHEW  THE only snowballs are those sickly-sweet cocktails. The only skis are the ones that whizz across the clear, turquoise water.   This is the Caribbean in winter - a necklace of sunshine islands a world away from the cold, grey UK skies.

Okay, if the mind is powerful, how is your mind making you feel today? It's worth thinking about -- with the stock market down this year, every day worse than the last, many of us are losing lots of money, I know I am, and it's not a good feeling.  I keep arguing with myself, even though I'm losing money at a huge rate, I'm still in good shape financially, I have a nice house, I can pay the bills. But it doesn't help. Inside I feel unsettled, poor, I'm having trouble concentrating. Does it help that I've been through this before? The crash of 1987 was much worse than this downturn, and then I had no cushion, nothing to fall back on, I wasn't even employed when it happened. I was a lot closer to being broke around the turn of the century, even though the market was doing very well. But it doesn't help. No matter how many times I've been through it, I've always known that it's cyclic, that the outlook will likely improve, but knowing isn't the same as feeling. The feeling is much stronger, it can't be counteracted with logic. I can't reason with the feeling, you might say it's un-reasonable. Then I heard that a friend of mine, much younger, with a lot less at stake in the market, is having trouble sleeping because of this feeling. I realize I'm not alone, probably millions of people have a heightened sense of insecurity right now. Does that make it better? Not really... Anyway, I thought, let's post something and find out how others feel about the economy and how much of an impact is it having on our state of mind.

SATURDAY, Dec. 4 (HealthDayNews) -- If you're an older adult, the New York-Presbyterian Hospital has these tips on how you can have a safe and healthy winter:    Get a flu shot if it's available in your area. Flu season runs from mid-October to mid-March. Flu can be fatal to older adults.   Ask your doctor about a vaccine that protects against pneumonia.  Check the lighting in your home.
