Her reply, "I have to keep moving. If I stop moving people will think I'm dead."Meryl Baerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13482532818278685217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2248452688088218010.post-50115509740354784532017-04-24T20:17:00.061-04:002017-04-24T20:17:00.061-04:00My granddaughter says I shop at old ladies stores ...My granddaughter says I shop at old ladies stores and do old ladies stuff.

Isn't conversation made up of what is in our experience? I find it encouraging that you all are still going to yoga; you're still managing your health with exercise and diet. You're still socializing. You're still making plans for the future. We need to talk about how we manage our lives as we age. Ageing is not negotiable but what we do with it certainly is.

It was hilarious fun... as most had hearing problems and the conversation never made a lot of sense as people answered what they "thought" the conversation was about. Now mom and her friends are gone... and my time is here. Hope others get as much enjoyment from my conversation as I used to get from mom and her friends.
