My “empty nest” is filled once more! YAYY!
Due to massive demolition and reconstruction on their home, my son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter have moved in with us until all the renovations are complete.
I am happy to say that it will be about three months. Most empty nesters might feel a little put upon by all the extra “to-do” with 3 people, especially with an 8month old baby- but am LOVING IT!
WHY? First, of course, they are my family, my most precious gift... and secondly- it’s keeping me YOUNG!
Though I have always felt “young at heart”, I also want to feel young and strong in my body!
Being with young, energetic people do that!! This got me thinking about “Healthy Aging” and the things we can do in our 50’s, 60’s, and beyond to remain vibrant, happy and “with it”.
No matter how many birthdays I have (and I want ALL I can get (100!) I will not succumb to being “OLD”. This is a promise I made to myself when I was in my 30’s and 40’s!
So, what exactly IS healthy aging? It is a continuous and proactive process of optimizing and maintaining your physical, mental, and social well-being.
It’s not just about living longer- it’s about having a high quality of functional ability, independence, and Joy-FULL-ness!
I am dedicated to my self-care practices of “Fitness, Food, and Feeling Good” so that I can live a life of strength, grace, and gratitude. I hope you are as committed, too!
