As a family physician, I’ve often been inspired by those in their 80s and 90s who are aging well, and wondered what they were doing differently. Upon looking deeper, I found certain commonalities, yet each person’s path was uniquely their own.
This older generation is different from today’s. It’s steeped in traditions and values; they knew their neighbors and thought of others first. They grew up in a kinder, gentler time, and have great insight, if only we take the time to listen.
