As Sophia Loren says there IS a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age.
And isn't this what we reach for in every edition of our Seniors magazine?
It gives you a time for reflection, a bit of humour, a new craft or recipe to try, and to take a different perspective.
Then when you have been inspired by the uplifting stories of how other local folk are managing their daily trials, and see how they have coped through disappointment and sorrow, and came out on the other side much stronger as a result, having learned endurance and wisdom, then it's not so hard when it is our turn.
Because who among us - after a certain number of years of existence - has not been let down, by love, by loss, by pain, by life itself?
It gives you a time for reflection, a bit of humour, a new craft or recipe to try, and to take a different perspective.
Yet we are still here. Still here, and, if anything, stronger for all that we have been through.
This is the truth that all the greatest vintage folk know, deep in their bones.
Above all, revisit all you really knew about why we love knitting this season, the clever ideas behind the 20 minute neighbourhood concept, and learn all there is about getting online so that you can visit the library and top up any gaps in your digital knowledge.
You know it's not a good look for the grandees to know more about simple things than you do.

I love the writing game. It gets me bouncing out of bed, and dragging my feet at night when I have to finish up for the day. I started at The Bendigo Advertiser as the Creative Services Coordinator, and after many changes, I have ended up with a great 12 years with ACM (love that long service leave too as my secret gardens need tending sometimes). Working from home is tops and I hope I have many more productive times ahead.
