“I was recently at the drug store bopping to a song that was playing that took me back to when I was 16 years old. I took my products to the counter to check out and the girl asked hesitantly, “Are you a senior? Today is Senior’s Discount Day”. Jolting me out of my moment I burst out into laughter...couldn’t she see that I was 16?”
A social worker, researcher, mother of 2 adult children and soon to be a grandmother (“Granny Annie”), Anne is coming to terms with aging from all angles. At 63 and single, Anne finds herself dawning a new attitude... a different, less principled mindset then she held in her 40’s or 50’s, and is excited about exploring anti aging possibilities for herself so she can reflect her inner youth.
Anne shares a philosophy that she identifies with now: “We mock the things we are to become”. With the benefit of hindsight and a pragmatic approach, Anne shares ‘I’m not feeling my spiffiest. I want to be the best I can be”. |
