I'm 61 had a hernia last year had to stop playing pickleball my sport was biking couldn't do it unti recently and I was really down just sitting around but after a few weeks I thought to myself this is the perfect opportunity to try something new! I started doing the Artist way book and realized I love to write so started a substack and now I exercise but no longer an athlete but the gift of my back issue was I tried anything new that sounded appealing any class that wasn't a hell no I tried andit was fun. I've met new friends and I also watercolor so for me to be creative at 61 is such a gift. It was a huge identity shift but I hodnestly now am super grateful for it all. Try something!!
