Make a plan and do it.

Make a plan and do it.

Ann S., age 74

I am 74 but my Mum was really active until 95, so I don’t obsess over the numbers. After a career in nursing and raising five kids, I now concentrate on art in a big studio next to the house. I got a rescue dog, took him to classes, and now he is certified as a therapy dog. We volunteer weekly at a memory care facility. We cook, have a garden, keep bees, walk two miles in the morning in all weather, and actively engage in everything. Very busy. No naps Just Coffee! What I have learned over my life is to not wait for others to write the script. No guarantees for the future. Carpe Diem. Figure out how to enjoy every day so you can go forth with positivity, and then show up. You will have friends of all ages, laughter, and gratitude.
