I agree wholeheartedly! We don’t all fit into old people mindsets or bodies. I appreciate your point of view and just subscribed!

I loved reading this, Michelle! Someone else who refuses to be defined by their age, especially as a victim. We don't have to go into decline if we take control.

Thank you, Patricia. Decline is a mindset I prefer not to enter into and I hope others will revisit their views and actions on what it means to age.

Love everything about this Michelle, I am aware of getting older but will defiantly get out of any box some people try to put me in. I'm having the best time at the moment, just discovered and started writing on Substack, so enjoying finding likeminded and free-spirited people on here, everybody should read your newsletter!

There is so much to do in this life and we are only limited by our own will and imagination. Substack is a pretty cool platform indeed.

Thanks for reading and responding.

Welcome to Substack and the joy of writing and reading what we all have to give. So appreciate your comment on the box we are supposedly doomed to fit in and how there are those of us defying those "boxy" standards. Thanks for the endorsement as well!

I really enjoyed watching the Netflix mini-series ‘Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones’. So much wisdom there. https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/81214929
