My widowed mother is taking her first big trip today with her art club. They are all going on the bus to the art museum in St.Louis. I’m proud of her and her resilience as she has been living without dad now for 2+ years.
She continues to serve others, take care of herself, and inspire.  At this point in her life, she is enjoying herself, her solitude, as well as her community. I appreciate her showing me and so many others the way to face grief and life with equal measures.
Who shows you the way? What kind of elderly person are you growing yourself into? Ki to Happiness chooses to grow into a wise, healthy and capable elder, following the footsteps of my mentors.
