Heart and Soul: What it means to age gracefully


Retirement is often viewed as a time to slow down, but I believe it’s a new chapter to be embraced with joy and purpose. As I reflect on my 75 years, I find that the key to a fulfilling life isn’t defined by the positions we held or the accolades we accumulated, but by living fully – with our loved ones, in nurturing relationships, and by engaging with our community.

Age is merely a number – a marker of time, not a limitation. It’s not the years that count but how we fill them. And as someone who has lived a full and active life, I want to share some thoughts on how those approaching retirement can make the most of their later years.
