Like the two comments below, I'm moving through my senior years growing in leaps and bounds, feeling such gratitude for my opportunities. In my 67th class I've finally begun teaching yoga which is something I've dreamed about doing for years, in my 66th class I began a Substack publication, and in my 65th class I published my first book. I agree with Kate, learning and growing keeps life worth living. 💜

This hit home for me this morning.

As a woman who had newly turned 70 and broke her femur resulting in a new hip replacement, I am learning a lot of “new’s”. New moves on my yoga mat. I may not move like I did before, but now I find myself doing slower yoga and holding the poses longer. New hiking in the woods with an old friend and re-newing that childhood friendship. I never was a hiker before.

I remember fondly now my dad’s words many years ago when my brothers and I were new teens; “You kids will grow up before I ever will!” And damn if we didn’t! He passed at 92. He never lost his curiosity, his sense of humor and fondness to tell new jokes.

Thank you for sharing.
