Find something that gives you satisfaction and leads to new friendships, especially if those friends are younger.

If the activity and the people in it are of real value, no one cares what we look like - nor should we.

It is a precious stage of life where we learn what is really important, and if we're very lucky, can impart that sensibility to others.

I admit to a shock when I look in the mirror and see a geezer looking back. But then I go on about my day, taking joy in what I have learned and the wonderful people in my life.
