Lately I’ve been seeing seminars offered in our area. They’re on Positive Aging, and it amused me. I don’t think that people change much over the years. I am and always have been an optimist, happy or at least contented for the past thirty years, busy with my writing since 1990, always something to do locally, and enjoying it all. So when a friend asked if I’d like to go to one of the seminars I said “thanks very much, but no.” She went and enjoyed it, came back with suggestions that – ah, she should involve herself in local events, find something that she enjoys doing and do it, and try to be optimistic. I think I saved myself a seminar. I do all that now, and I didn’t even need a seminar to tell me.
