  Hi perris. Isn’t she something!?!

  This is the real deal too. The lady is a Tai Chi/Chi Gong student of a friend of ours. The YouTube was sent to our friend by another student of hers, and she still doesn’t know the full story behind the performance. But she vouches for the age and amazing talent of the gal.

  She reminds me a lot of Lucille Ball, somehow. The sense of humor as well as the amazing agility. Priceless.

  It’s humbling to those of us who’ll just be happy if we’re still able to climb out of bed in the morning at that age. ;->

   The trick IS to get out of bed every morning at that age..and at every age thereafter. The older you get, the more you need exercise and movement. The problem for most of us is that we ‘retire’ to the sofa and channel changer.

  Amen!

  However, please don’t urge us all to do the splits, much less the flopping, flying splits, much less dancing en pointe, unless we already have a life-long habit of doing so.

  That lady’s limber, and cute as the dickens. Bless her for spunk alone. And then there’s her self-deprecating humor.

  She cracks me up!

   She was a definite upper!!! That’s it. I’m going to start stretching each day. In 30 years, maybe I’ll be limber, too!
