Wonderful ! I’m 80 I tap, clog, jazz, tennis, golf, yoga. Do what she says; she is telling the truth. Gerri
Thank you so much for an informative, positive, conversation. Kay is Awesome! “Take Age out of the equation” I got it!
Isn’t it ridiculous how brain-washed we can get? The media, advertisers,
most traditional physicians, designers, tell us we’re at that age and to expect
to be less capable than we used to be. So, we prove them right. As Kay said,
“The goal is to live your life fully.” We need to stop believing the naysayers
and learn from others who are living their vibrant lives well into their eighties
and nineties. We can’t be sideliners, we have to participate in our lives.
Thank you Kay for a wonderful discussion.
