Marilyn Braun just turned 101 years old. She comes to exercise every week (brought by her daughter) at the Lakeview Center for Active Aging.
I told her I am often encouraged by her being there. She just does what she can. And that's all anyone can do! She walks with a walker, and can get up and down from her chair just fine. She's a "little bit of a thang."
Our chair yoga class on Friday mornings sang happy birthday to her! Here our teacher, Deb Vingle shows us how to flex our feet to keep them working happily. In the background under the window another group of seniors are playing cards.
Today's quote:
In a world myriad as ours, the gaze is a singular act: to look at something is to fill your whole life with it, if only briefly.
