I' m 92 (husband 96) and practised yoga for several years, plus Pilates and Thai Chi. I
think the best way through old age is by being mindful. I may not have been given the best brain, but I do try to use it to its fullest ability. Not everyone is lucky enough to have a good partner, which saddens me, but we have been married 71, happy and eventful years (incredibly!) We've had three, worthy sons and both worked hard. Now retired in Spain, I'm still writing (9 books published, 10th awaiting publication) still write poetry and a diary every morning. Life can be wonderful- why waste it?! Very best wishes to you. Sincerely joy Lennick
Amazing! Thank you for sharing your story! Mindfulness helps everything. Congratulations on your marriage! My grandparents had that. I do not, but I have found the love of my life and hope to have a good 30-40 years with him.
Thanks so much for sharing your wisdom, Joy! That is wonderful to have been happily married for so long. My husband and I celebrated 26 years together last month (we’ll have been married 24 years in December), which is now half our lives. So far! And I agree that being mindful makes everything better.
