Enjoyed this post very much, Kim! I'm 71 and it was just 4 years ago that I was still riding my bike 90 miles a week, along with gardening and other household maintenance. I had my 4th spinal fusion two years ago and I must say it knocked the hell out of my stamina and flexibility. I don't want to be fragile either, and I'm working to stay strong and positive. I'm leaning into Clint Eastwood's mantra: "I won't let the old man in." Thanks for sharing!
