Why Crow’s Feet Should Be on Your Reading List….
…but only if you want to be inspired. Here’s why.
I just got finished reading a story by one of my silver sisters, Jean Anne Feldeisen, about building a habit late in life. She writes pieces about the Seventy-Something woman, many of which I find thoughtful and insightful. This one in particular. She made several very key comments which were so telling they deserve to be teased out.
In writing about her desire to inculcate* a yoga habit, she made a few very revealing comments which, for my reading dollar, hit us where we all live at any age.
This:
It is getting too late to rely on wishing, I need to take action.
and this in particular, for if you ain’t old yet, you will be, and this is so true:
I yearned for it, for someone to make me do it, for something to happen to force me into a regular practice.
Much of the rest of her piece is about what she did and how she did it, along with some advice about how to establish a new habit.
Why her? Why any of us? Why listen?
Far too many of us dismiss older people, most especially older women, because, kindly, what do they know.
