Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, but beautiful old people are works of art,” said Eleanor Roosevelt, a woman who worked ceaselessly for human rights until she died at age 78.
The years after midlife, from age 60 to 90 and beyond, so often viewed in popular culture as a time of diminishment, can, in fact, offer a vital sense of urgency to our lives as we become more aware of the limited years we have left. There is still much to look forward to, things to be curious about, adventures to be had and wisdom to be shared.
This service looks at people in the years beyond midlife who are inspiring examples of the notion that it’s never too ate to make your mark.
