Getting Older but Wiser

Posted bylisanordlund1Posted intravelTags:,

How would you describe yourself to someone who can’t see you?

I look in the mirror and I can see the wrinkles around my mouth and eyes. Even fine wrinkles on my cheeks. My neck gives my age away. Why does the neck sag so much?

But it’s all me. Nothing fake. No Botox. No snip and tuck. I plan to age as gracefully as possible.

I’m energetic. I move a lot. But I’m learning to get out of bed a little slower. Hold the railing down the stairs. Not run, just walk. And watch my feet.

My spirit is young. And I like to do crazy things. I always say I don’t want to die before I’m dead.

In 2015, I retired and my goal was to do as much traveling as I possibly could. I started the blog for our first month long trip to Panama in October 2015. My sister Linda and her husband Stan joined Bruce and I on our first trip and we decided together on the name the four amigos. Since then, we don’t always travel with them, sometimes just Bruce and I, sometimes other people, whoever wants to join us on our crazy journeys. The name stuck and I grew an affinity to it. So here we are. I invite you to join thefouramigos blog on our next destination.

  1. It’s amazing how candid and reflective you are about aging. Wrinkles and sagging are natural parts of the process, and it’s great to see you embracing them as part of your journey. Your attitude towards aging—accepting it gracefully while staying active and young at heart—is truly inspiring. It’s a reminder that our spirit and how we live our lives are just as important as how we look. Keep moving, keep enjoying life, and keep that vibrant spirit alive. After all, as you say, you don’t want to die before you’re dead. Cheers to living fully and authentically!
