Yes, yes, your very real article about living with our changing, aging bodies and minds struck a deep chord with me at 70. One of the best surprises of this last third of our lives, for me, is the joy of continuing to form new, deep friendships with like-minded, kindred spirit women! My activism has demanded that I travel to advocate or protest in these last 7 years, especially, and my resister sisters and I met while protesting children in cages. Now we still gather to support one another…in between more protests! We are still very deeply invested in life and plan to be, while we are alive…and I am SO grateful! Being a grandmother is even more joyful than I expected - and I expected it to be wonderful! How lovely that life can still surprise us with joy! It helps balance out the very real sorrows and dreads that we continue to face today.
