We’re in same boat–a high flying craft–powered by Shaklee. I’d probably be dead by now if it weren’t for these wonderful supplements. Glad you are along for the ride. Betsy

BETSY - I ENJOYED YOUR POST ON YOUR PERSONAL "EXPERIENCE" WITH GETTING OLDER- 80 IS JUST A NUMBER AND FOR YOU, IN GOOD SHAPE, - YOU ARE A "WALKER" AND HIKER TOO! YOU ARE TO BE ADMIRED FOR YOUR CONSISTENT EFFORT IN STAYING YOUNGER LONGER. I THINK MORE SHOULD ASPIRE TO THAT GOAL CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR GOOD HEALTH INDEED REACHING THAT FANTASTIC MILESTONE, 80, IS A BLESSING FOR SURE....HOW MANY CAN SAY THEY NOT ONLY FEEL GOOD BUT LOOK GOOD TOO AFTER 80 YEARS OF LIVING ON GOD'S GOOD EARTH? ..YOU ARE CHANGING HOW PEOPLE THINK...THE PARADIGM" ABOUT AGING. . AT TURNING 79 IN A FEW WEEKS, I AM WITH YOU TOO AND FIGHT THE FIGHT EVERYDAY TO REMAIN CONSISTENT BOTH IN NOT ONLY PHYSICAL MOVEMENT AKA "EXERCISE" BUT IN DIETARY CHOICES AS WELL - MY CHOICE OF NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT HAS BEEN A VARIETY OF SHAKLEE NUTRITIONAL PREPARATIONS FOR NOW OVER 50 YEARS. THEY SEEM TO WORK WELL FOR ME PROVIDING CELLULAR REPAIR AS WELL AS THE ENERGY I NEED TO KEEP ON KEEPING ON AS I PUSH ON TO AGE EIGHTY JAN.31, 2018. I AM GLAD I GOT THIS OLD AND VERY VERY THANKFUL THAT I HAVE ARRIVED HERE IN GOOD HEALTH WITH ENERGY TO SPARE SO I CAN CONTINUE TO PLAY MY FAVORITE SPORT OF TENNIS AS WELL AS CONTINUE TO DO MY AGE IN PUSH-UPS EVERYDAY...MAYBE ONE DAY I WILL KNOCK OFF 100 TIME WILL TELL...IT ALWAYS DOES. . HAPPY BIRTHDAY BETSY BELL...."YOU GO GIRL."

In reply to Lucy Kluckhohn Jones. Hey, there, Lucy. I think of you still hiking and moving easily. Who knew the little things that would show up? I'm thinking of going back to BMC for the volunteer weekend to plan our 60th which is coming up in 2019. Without Margaret, I don't know if we can do it. Put it on your calendar. It would be fun to see you again. Betsy

In reply to Margaret Bullitt. I enjoyed your party and meeting Darrel, your classmate from Lakeside. He's going through a mess. I was fun writing this. Glad you liked it. Betsy

In reply to karen johannsen. So much fun to read your comments. I miss the full moon and will try to make the next one. It is a time for deep spiritual quiet. I'm feeling strangely hopeful.

Happy Birthyear, Betsy, and back atcha! You just did a great job of describing my life as well. Only it’s a dog and not a cat that makes mince meat of my skin on occasion. Old lady skin comes with the territory.

I discovered that my cell phone counts steps (who knew?), but I’m debating a fitbit. Thanks to your wise words, I may or may not follow through!

Keep moving indeed.

Thanks, and Happy New Year

Betsy, thank you for your specificity, frankness, self-reflection and humor. Thank you, too, for sharing all your discoveries — not just Shaklee-related ones. So good to see you on Boxing Day.

Best wishes for the new year. Here’s to aging — gracefully, or even not so gracefully!

Maggie

Thanks for this wonderful blog, Betsy. Only a few years more and I will join you in the 80’s so I appreciated your reference to the Fitbit. I had been considering buying one and have now changed my mind. Who needs another thing to judge ourselves by? Hope to see more of you one of these days. I am now skyping people in to my full moon ceremonies if you are interested. xoxoxkaren
