You're Never Too Old To..........

Have you ever wanted to do something you've never done before, learned something you've always wanted to learn?  A new language?  Piano or guitar?  Ballroom dancing?  Painting or sculpture? We've all done this, and often the answer we give ourselves is "I'm just too old."  That is just not so.

Some Friday mornings I teach bridge at the Solana Beach Library.  Most of the students are in their 50's, 60's, and 70's.  I was teaching one Friday morning and was introduced to a 100 year old woman named Mimi, who has just started learning bridge!  Imagine that.  I was surprised, not only because she looked to be in her mid 80's, but her attitude in general was so youthful.  She has been coming every Friday for several months, and although she'll never be Charles Goren, she is learning, progressing, keeping her mind active, and above all, having fun.

So when you think you're too old to try something new, think of Mimi, and get out and give whatever it is, a try.  You may surprise yourself.
