[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You described my 80-year old (widowed after 52 years 5 years ago).  She really grew in independence and self-reliance after my dad passed.  She's always been a go-getter, can't sit still.  She's always been stylish.  She has an inner strength like nobody I've ever seen.  Bought a condo in a retirement facility last year on her own (called and told us), put the house of 50-years on the market herself---packed up the damn thing, got it ready to sell, found her own realtor, etc...a dynamo.  She said she couldn't take the loneliness one day longer.

Her best friend at the new facility is a 90-year old dynamo that calls everyone else 'boring' and drink martinis before noon. My mom drives her to appointments and thinks she's a hoot.  She started dinner parties on her hall and is taking advantage of all the trips and events the community has to offer.

The change I have seen in her the past 2 years has been amazing.  Total life goals--and keep living your best life until the end...what's the alternative? as she likes to say.[/quote]

^ oh she mowed her own lawn, gardened, daily walks and she works out.  She said people must think she's a crazy lady because she is always outside walking the grounds. Use it or lose it!![/quote]
