What a great question! What great inspiration! What a great way to keep our minds fresh and growing . . . and our bodies, too! I believe this attitude of continuing to learn and to try new things is one key to keeping us alive and young at heart.   

Here are a few of my first time activities this past year. Don’t laugh. These are new activities for a city girl moving from a warm climate to the Pacific Northwest. And to me, they were a lot of fun . . . for a little while at least. Once I had half of the driveway shoveled, I was real happy to see my neighbor come over with a snow blower to finish the job. At the same time, I felt proud to know that I can do this!

• Operated a power washer
• Shoveled snow from the driveway
• Built a fire in a wood-burning stove
