Enjoying the trip

Growing older is one of the more challenging, more interesting parts of life, I reckon.
Just taking note of your changing attitudes and abilities makes it worth hanging around into your 70s!
Some people retreat in the face of ageing. They become quieter, more inward looking. They close themselves off more and more from their surroundings.
Then there are the fighters, those who take up jogging in their 50s, or marathon running. They dye greying hair, rub anti-ageing cream into wrinkles, and even, if they can afford it, engage a Personal Trainer.
The "oldies" I admire are ducking and weaving against the effects of the accumulating years. They accept that their mountain-climbing days (or whatever) are over, but they enjoy the memories as they investigate new interests; they join the "Grey Nomads," (adding to their bank of memories), they join a debating club, or a choir, or become gardening fanatics, or study for a university degree.
Me? . . . . . .I've just started another Blog.
