I studied Geography in college, never found a related job. “We don’t hire women”. Went back to school for business then Environment Studies but still “we don’t hire women for this job”. So I tried being a licensed outdoor guide while working but that was not a good choice. Got married at age 45, adopted a 6 year old from Russia. Stressful! Have been volunteering at a nature center for 20+ years, now leading “senior strolls”. Many participants are younger than me. Going for 25 years, then going to look at volunteering at a goat farm near me. I have issues with serious osteoarthritis but try to keep moving. I’m never going to hike the Adirondack trail but the trick is to do something you can do and manage as you age, even if it’s exercising your mind . The lady who mentioned volunteering in a library had a good idea but I like being outdoors more. Maybe I’ll do the library stuff when I’m in my ‘80’s also. 🙂
