A wave of fear has engulfed the middle years of life.
Almost a tsunami! Sensible people worrying, fretting, feeling anxious about ageing, yet actually heading for the best stage of their lives!
How did that happen?
Stranded! Beached whale feeling. But that rapidly turned to chuckles.
“I have to ask for help to get up from a chair in the office of an organisation that espouses Age Friendly places!”
Lovely….However what was really interesting was that it had never occurred to them.
Such a shame, no one there to video it….almost certainly would have gone viral!
One of the many delightful surprises in this Strange Land of Old Age, has been this calm acceptance, this adjustment to later life. The change in the focus of pleasures that one cannot imagine at all when you are younger.
I have had Thirteen Extra Springs to wonder at. Absolute free and delightful gift.
How lucky we are, this new generation of Older People. We have been given bonus Springs!
Adrenaline: challenge, activity, people and shared fun….the best antidote to depression, the pick me up, the buzz in life at any age.
What do we mean by this word ‘fit”? We seem to have got ourselves into a nonsensical world with this idea of fitness. What does it mean to be fit at 80+?
