In this episode, Gail, Catherine, and Karla discuss:
- What Karla learned from her research on the experiences of vital women in their 70s”, and her own experiences on aging into her mid-80s.
- Appreciation for living life more by choice than by obligation.
- Karla’s transition, with her husband, to a retirement community in Oregon, where she has rekindled her passions for poetry and pottery.
Key Takeaways:
- As we become old(er), we can find new ways to engage in our passions.
- Moving from a home and community of 54 years is difficult, but the important thing is having the choice to move and not be in a situation where others have to move you.
- Aging is a process that brings new awarenesses, challenges and opportunities with each passing decade.
“I am a museum of memories of myriad images, a spectrum of emotions, cares, and commitments.” – Karla Klinger
