[stevelangsdorf]

I will turn 74 May10 I am a low income senior, I believe the reason I am doing so well is good diet, going to the gym 5 days a week for the past 40 years, and a daily meditation.

Successful aging is smile a lot, forgive a lot, keep clean, be yourself without regret.

I like the way she giggles; it's endearing!

[obwhankanobee]

[marygroft]

Thank you so much for motivating me to get out of the house. I was considering volunteering with the group SOS and now I’m certain that it’s the right thing to do.
You’ve made a difference to this 76 year old woman.

This was so brilliant!!! My favorite part was of course the 94 year old building the community pool.

At 12:00 she says " Grow friendships. Relationships matter. Get some. Get out of the house". That is easy to say and VERY HARD TO ACTUALIZE!!! There isn't some store that you can just go to and "GET SOME" as she puts it!!! I have been trying to develop new friendships however meeting new people in of itself is frequently difficult. Now with this pandemic of the past couple of years it is even more difficult. One of the aspects of people saying things as she does is that they don't specify how to go about meeting new people and developing friendships. This causes me to feel annoyed when people say things like she does that sound so easy to say but realistically are not!!!

Absolutely Fabulous, Cathleen! What an amazing job you did! Here's to Actively Aging!

[mike]

Wow, she was such an enjoyable person to listen to can’t really say why maybe it’s because I am getting older so it’s a topic of interest, but she didn’t say anything all that enlightening that we don’t already all know, but she was just so enjoyable to listen to it was a great video.

That was so beautiful!! Live your life fully regardless of age.

At 75 I find it impossible to retire🤓 why enjoyment of my profession and healthy living defined by daily exercise no alcohol or cigs etc and a conservative diet. With my wife at 68 still busy with educational admin. It works.

[robertdoust]

I'm seventy five as long as I'm on "Top " I'm ok, !!! Cheers ROBERT. 😘

No one can guarantee a long life, but we can do our best through balanced nutrition, exercise, positive mindset, and manage our environment and stress.

One important factor is go back to the town where you spent lot of years that gives you sense of belonging sort of close to heart
