Hi Vicki. A couple of years ago I joined my city’s Commission on Aging, an advisory group to the city council. I now chair the Commission’s Committee on Economic Security and Civic Engagement, a lively and creative group. We’re working on a new “Age Friendly Plan” for the city, under the auspices of AARP. Looking at the same issues you are. Happy to exchange ideas. Jessica
In 6th grade some girls at school were talking about "menistration" and giggling. I asked, "What does that mean?" Then they really laughed and said, "You don't KNOW? Go ask your mother." So I did. My dear mother said, "I don't know if I can explain it correctly. But tomorrow, we will go to the bookstore and buy a book for you." And we did.
And now I'm 81 and grappling with a few mobility issues that are keeping me from doing the walking, hiking, exploring I had always done up until last year when I fell and fractured my pelvis. I healed quickly and well, I believe because I'd been working with a personal trainer, just once a week, for a couple of years and had built up some strength. So the aging tip I have to share is it's not too late to build up strength to help resist permanent injury. xoA <3
