Welcome to my Age with Charm – for the Footloose Old-timers.
They say that “change” is the only constant in this world. And my log is no exception.
Before my epiphany, the sub-head was living fully. Then my inner voice told me to make this blog reflect on what is really churning out inside me like a boiling magma wanting to erupt
A lot of blogs about elderly people write about nursing homes, age-related illnesses, food supplements, depression, diabetes, and so forth.
While these are very valid topics, but they immediately project the image of an elderly being hobbled by illnesses, of being confined at home, dependent on others. Of having to take numerous pills each day to keep going.
Age with Charm is different
I have been sent several guest post offers from other bloggers. I declined them all because they write about the topics mentioned above.
You see, I am still healthy and capable of taking care of myself. I am active. I play tennis three times a week and go biking on other days. My mornings are confined to doing house chores and afternoons to my writing.
In other words, I don’t suffer from any physical condition that limits my movement, my activities, and my freedom.
I spend weekends on beach resorts to break the monotony of home. It always allows me to do a few laps around the pool. And when travel will be easier, I will again be flying off to some island for a couple of quiet and peaceful evenings in some beach resort.
In short, I am a footloose senior and that’s why this blog is about – as my way of expressing the beauty of being a senior. Not the other way around.
Being a senior is not easy, especially if one lives alone like me. I suffer from bouts of loneliness, of depression; have frequent aches and pains and often have sleeping problems.
I can dwell on them and live a life of misery, or I can go out and throw them into the wind. I choose the latter and enjoy every moment of my life. You, too, can.
If being a footloose old-timer is too much for you, you can subscribe to my blog and get the latest of my escapades (if you allow me to use that term).
