Aging without feeling old!

As a 64 year old man I, like all of us, will and have gone through adjusting to aging. The trick is to accept getting older without feeling old. So how do we do that? This is a question that I would like my seniors to help me answer (all comments welcomed). My first thought is to stay active and agile. Tai chi and yoga and walking and swimming are good ways to stay fit. So let us start with that as we add to the list over the next few weeks. OK? I will check for your comments after my 5 mile walk.

Tai chi thoughts: Sixty is the young age of old. For me old is 25 yrs from now.

Stay centered, enjoy the day, and be careful out there.

Tough Times

Lots of people are really scared and are having trouble adjusting to our new world of challenging times. Some of my students are even losing sleep because of worry and fear. Many times we get caught up in all the doom and gloom and start to lose hope and feel that we cannot recoup our losses. When that happens, it is time to remember what Theodore Roosevelt said – ‘Do what you can, where you are, with what you have.” I have this message over my desk and look at it when I pay my bills. Remember, there is plenty that we can do.


Tai chi thought of the week:
“Embracing the tiger” means to calmly accept our problems and do the best we can. Then go outside and breathe and smile.


Stay centered, enjoy the day, and be careful out there.
