Living the Dream: Aging is not ‘Giving Up’!
Welcome to “Real Life After 70”
A podcast related to thriving at any age.
This is Real Life After 70 – Episode 19
My name is Mike Reynolds. I’m your host for this and each episode.
Living the Dream: Embracing Adventure!
Our winter travels continue. Join me as we discuss our journey across the good old USA. We are now in Cottonwood, AZ at Dead Horse Ranch State Park.
As we go about our lives, we are facing many challenges. We are challenged to wake up and
interact with others. It is up to us to create the life that works for us. Sometimes what we think is going to be a simple task becomes an extremely frustrating experience. I keep getting distracted by projects that are important but take me away from creating regular podcast episodes. I continue to hope for more consistency as we go forward. This is a continual battle for
me.
Turning 70 should be a celebration, but naturally, it comes with mixed feelings about getting older. Aging does come with difficulties, but it presents opportunities to grow, reflect, and seek fulfillment.

We will inevitably face some challenges along this journey of self-fulfilment. Today we’ll discuss some of those challenges and how to surmount such obstacles. We’re starting a short series focusing on the opportunities available to you as you enter your 70’s. The first one is to Embrace Adventure.
Just because we're in our 70’s doesn't mean it's time to give up. If anything, we have the time and resources to embrace adventure! Whether it's a road trip across the country, flying to our dream destination, or just buying season tickets for our favorite team – This last quarter of our lives is the time to embrace adventure in a way we were never able to before. So, don't resist the fun, give in!
