...and life goes on

Despite the sad news of Neil's passing, life must go on.  He won't be forgotten and on Thursday we will celebrate his life.  More storms are predicted for tonight and today it has been snowing a little and everyone who is out seems to be wrapped up with their head down just trying to get to their destination. I think we are all trying to get to Xmas so we can have a break and recharge the batteries ready to face another year.
So today I hauled myself out of be feeling slightly less tired than I had been of late and headed off to a pool that I used to swim at a couple of years ago.  Some of the "old fellas" (in their late 60's and 70's) were there as they are most days putting in a good training session in the pool.  They also take time out at the end of the lane to socialise and support each other during their illnesses and hard times.  I caught the odd conversation when I stopped to get my breath and I just love the fact they are so active at that age.  It just shows that, if we're lucky enough, there is a life to be enjoyed if you are fit and have interests in retirement - I aim to be one of them in years to come!
