This week I’m getting ready to travel to Brazil for my grandma’s 90th birthday, woohoo! What a beautiful milestone for a truly special woman. I feel so grateful to have a grandmother who is alive, well, vibrant, and still fully enjoying life.
She has been such a role model for me in many ways. She knows how to truly relax and enjoy the moment, whether it’s sitting and chatting for hours, sharing a meal with family, or simply being present with the people she loves. At the same time, she is always open to adventure, often saying yes to travel with my mom, dinners out, family gatherings, and new experiences.
One thing I’ve noticed over the years is that physical aging can sometimes come with a kind of mental aging too — a decreased desire to socialize, connect, explore, and participate in life. But the elders I’ve met who continue to stay engaged with others, nurture relationships, and remain curious about life often seem to age with a more youthful spirit. There is something so inspiring and magnetic about that kind of energy.
I hope I can age that gracefully too. And truly, my grandmother is just as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. Here is a photo of us from a year ago, and she still looks as radiant as ever.
Wishing you, too, much joy, connection, and graceful aging in the years ahead.
To your best health,
