NVR2L8

One of my favorite sights these days is a little white 2-door sedan parked every day at my office, license plate NVR2L8. The car's owner is a year older than me, almost to the day. We agree that age is a matter of the mind: if you don't mind, it doesn't matter! This car is my inspiration that (with my family's longevity) I still have decades of adventure ahead! One of my fun goals for this year is to re-learn how to do handstands and cartwheels. As a girl, I was upside down much of the time. Gymnastics in the house and yard, underwater acrobatics and diving at the neighborhood beach, tree climbing and dangling. Throwing my body into space was as natural as breathing. When I went hiking recently, our favorite 20-something cousin Colin (in photo above) celebrated each summit with a handstand. Bravo for a guy who is 6'4" atop a 4,500' peak! (second photo: Summit of Gothics, Adirondack High Peaks). So with all this inspiration, off I go. Being not only older but wiser, I do plan to work up to upside down-ness with more yoga and strength training. As for this blog, I'll be posting now and again, sharing notable turns in the cartwheel of my life!
