Back in 1998, our city's new (and young) recreation director made her first annual report to city council. She had done an impressive job ... new activities, new venues, greatly increased enrollment. There was only one sore point.

"We've more than doubled the number of programs for seniors," she said, "but our enrollment hasn't increased at all in that category. I just don't understand what we're doing wrong."

The mayor leaned back in his chair and drawled, "Well, Amber, the problem is that there's a whole bunch of people in this city in their 80's and 90's who think senior programs are for people who are old."

;D.

At least that makes me feel better about busting my butt with a sawmill.  We can do what we do because I do.   smiley_old_guy

PatD asked my a couple of years ago "what we were going to do when I could not saw anymore"?  My answer was something like " a whole lot less than we do now".  In the meantime, I'll just keep on doing.   sail_smiley

A friend in her 80s got asked what she did to keep busy and she said " I take care of an old lady down the road. "

AMEN. Thanks for the reminder. Growing old is often a state of mind. I thank the Lord everyday for my good health, family, and friends. 

r.man

Wesdor you are so right. A neighbour of my MIL who was in his 80s and still rode a bike and skied was talking about golfing with a woman friend who was 100. When asked how the woman got to the rural golf course he informed my MIL that the woman in question had just leased a new car. Attitude, expectations and hope.
