She wasn't swinging on a trapeze or partici- pating in a human pyramid, but she still looks like an acrobat to me. I'm not entirely comfortable with a seventy-five year old standing on one foot atop a step ladder, but then again, a ladder is supposed to be safer than standing on a chair... Thankfully she didn't dismount by doing a flip.She can now reach the top shelves without standing tip-toe on a kitchen chair and maybe, just maybe, she'll get around to painting her kitchen ceiling. (It was her idea, not mine.)
Staying active appears to be the key to a long and productive life. It also helps with attitude and outlook. Maybe I should try standing on one foot atop my kitchen step stool... :0)

Good post for A. Have a nice day!
ReplyDeleteI am now 79 and the kids (youngest is 40) yell at me for even talking about getting up on something. I catch myself feeling some fear before I even get on the stepladder.
ReplyDeleteShe is definitely one of a kind. She stood on a chair to reach in the cupboard later and told us, "I have good balance." She still goes figure skating on a regular basis. I want to be just like her when I grow up. :)
DeleteIt's true, it good to keep physical activity for health, Ok but for me no olympyc..!
