Best Interests

Driving home from school today, I looked at the clock and thought, "48 years ago this minute I was saying I will to the man I would spend the next thirty years with." It was not what I expected it to be, but then few things ever are.

Now I am engaged in a great plan for self renewal testing whether a woman my age can actually manage to combat Diabetes type II with exercise and diet. In most ways it seems to be working.

I am pushing 69 years of age and still feel capable of doing pretty much everything I could do 35 years ago. In fact, I am currently able to do a few things I couldn't do 35 years ago!

It's like my geeky sweatshirt says, "Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change." That's a quote from Stephen Hawkings and I love it.

Some people may feel that adapting is the same thing as just giving in, or following, but I don't believe that. Adapting is taking the current situation and making it work in your best interests.

I hope to continue adapting as long as I live.
