“Live your Adventures!”
I received a message from our regional YMCA that 30SEP-06OCT is ACTIVE AGING WEEK.
Why is this week chosen as ACTIVE AGING WEEK? A trivial pursuit answer is that this week aligns with October 1st – which is our International Day of Older Persons.
I love descriptors “active” and “older”. How about y’all who are WELL PAST FORTY as I am? Those two adjectives certainly beat “sedentary” and “OLD” – yes?
Cherish these brainyquote words from centenarian George Burns:
AMEN.
The Y advises that anyone over 50 years young gets FREE classes and services next week.
[Poor Frosty timing as I won’t be in town to take FREE classes].
I don’t know if this generous commitment by our San Diego Ys (all 18 of ’em) extends to other parts of our fair land…
Click on over to the main ACTIVE AGING website to consider other activities.
This active ager appreciated what the Canada-based International Council on Aging does for folks in our “gray” demographic! I applaud the ICAA’s mission to change “society’s perceptions of aging and improving the quality of life for aging Baby Boomers …”.
KaBoomers – go for the gusto – during this special week. And…add an adventure every week thereafter.
BEAT “sedentary” and “old.”
Be well!
