Looking to older role models has always been important. The older women in my family are all remarkable. My 82 year old aunt still goes to the gym twice a week and, when I rang my 79 year old mother this week, she was painting skirting boards. Seeing others who are 20 years older, keeping so active is truly inspirational. I feel we need to see more positive older role models in the media. This woman out on the prom with her little Westie was likely in her 70’s or even 80’s. Her posture was beautiful and her stride akin to somebody half her age. Her carriage was so elegant, I imagined she might have been a dancer. Every time I look at this photograph I will check my posture and vow to keep active into my own old age, if I am privileged enough to reach it. Who are your role models and why?
