Portland Elders in Action

Yesterday afternoon, Allison and I attended an "Elders in Action" sponsored film titled "Experts in Their Own Aging" at PSU.  We viewed a series of films that interviewed older people who shared their life experiences and their views on aging.  Subjects covered things such as how bodies change, how attitudes and confidence change, ways that older people can accommodate their disabilities, unexpected surprises while aging, and methods to stay involved and active.

There was no charge for attending the event and we were surprised to find a buffet lunch waiting for us before the film started.

Allison and I are both decided to become involved with the organization.  It was inspiring to see people of an advanced age, energetic and eager to live life to the fullest. 

Enjoying dinner later at Nel Centro, a short walk from PSU, made the evening perfect.
