Taking daily walks with my 85 year old mother while I stay with her for a few weeks. She has walked daily since she was about 50. Her walks are shorter now and her pace has slowed, but she still keeps at it. I hope to be as energetic when I am her age. She takes care of her home, cooking, shopping, laundry, her personal affairs, keeping up with reading the NYTimes, and small projects around the house. Today she put up the bird feeder for the goldfinches having recently arrived back at her summer home in New England.
Here she is last summer with her granddaughter, undaunted by having to walk through the water to reach the beach. Her fortitude and spirit are enviable.
