"Diminishment has come to live with me now, in all sorts of mocking forms," Sister Mary Thomas Noble, O.P.
All of our lives we see people growing old, but until we encounter it ourselves, it is not possible to understand. Healthy food, daily exercise, practicing serenity -- they can only determine part of the experience. Other parts, such as dementia, are beyond our control.
The exercise class we have joined, "Silver Sneakers", has been so good for Dwane. It is a national exercise program, and the cost is covered by some insurance companies. It is a great blend of exercise, balance activities, stretching, and work on mobility and flexibility.
