My self-awareness and self-care have become priorities. The conversation between my mind and body is an ongoing struggle for reality. My mind says I’m 30, but my body says the reality is I’m 60. I am constantly aware of the men my age who are stooped over and toddling along in their frumpiness that screams, “I’ve let go.” I am constantly looking for the balance between age appropriate clothes and behavior that will keep me appearing younger than I am while not being ridiculous, desperate, or even garish. I work a lot harder to maintain my mobility and agility, taking up yoga (love it), which I used to think was only for young people. I also find that I can’t allow my mind to be slack, so I read a lot more and have recently passed my engineering certification to enhance my career. Overall, as my age unapologetically progresses, I find everything is a challenge and I can no longer take for granted a life that is so precious, delicate, and relatively brief.

Good perspective, Kim.
