Moving to a retirement community in Denver is one of the smartest things I have ever done.
Thus, I began my adventures . . .
The first was skydiving on my 90th birthday. Since my birthday is in March, I made reservation to skydive at the Camarillo Airport in Southern California, close to where my family reside.
My next adventure was ziplining. My friends Diana and Marty Flahive took me on a wonderful belated birthday trip to go ziplining. I had a reservation at Glenwood Springs, Colorado and they had been told I was 90 years old. They said it would be no problem. But when I arrived, I was told I couldn’t go ziplining, they refused to give me any assistance and told me I wouldn’t be successful. I think it was age discrimination. That didn’t stop me. My friends drove me to Vail, I was treated royally, and yes, I went ziplining. The view of the mountains was spectacular and it was so quiet and peaceful, but much too short a ride. I would love to go again now that I know what to expect.
On August 21, 2014 I graduated from the Clermont College of Creative Life where I delivered one of the Valedictorian speeches, and a day prior to graduation I paddled in a canoe in Chatfield Reservoir.
I recently experienced a health challenge. I had to spend time in the hospital and at doctors’ offices. But that hasn’t stopped me. I am determined to LIVE my life to the fullest.
I have other planned adventures during the 90th year of my birth. In October I will be acting in the production of ‘The Music Man’ here at Clermont Park along with other residents. My purpose is to live a wonderful fulfilling life full of challenges. My motto is “Aspire to Inspire before I Expire.” So, if my adventures inspire others, young and/or older, to take a leap and live successful, meaningful and purposeful lives, then I am ever so happy to share them with you.
