So often, younger people view seniors as ‘over the hill’ people who just sit around waiting for something interesting to happen. While some seniors may live alone and get out infrequently, it’s not because that’s the way they like it! I remember, many years ago, my grandmother, well into her seventies, telling me how strange it was to be so many years old and yet feel that she was still 18 in her heart. She was so passionate in her expression of this observation, I never forgot it. It was a joy to hear her say this. She was very active and could go all day long, working in her garden. While I was worn out trying to keep up with her, she might say “Oh, I guess I am a little bit worn out. Let’s have a spot of coffee!”
