Mention something you used to do (playing an instrument, speaking a language, drawing) and whether you miss it or are fine letting it rest.

Members opened up about skills and passions they once loved but let fade away, from playing guitar and tap dancing to flying airplanes and running 5Ks. Several members shared bittersweet feelings, with some like the guitarist hoping to one day return, while others found new outlets like yoga or reading that brought similar joy. A recurring theme was that aging, illness, and life's unexpected turns often pull us away from the things we love, but the memories and the hope of returning still linger.

@A myHIVteam Member oh man I definitely relate to your remark. Glad to have made it to "old fart". But interesting to experience an aging body.

Balance... Varies for me. I suspect related to my deteriorating hearing that hearing aids only help rather than solve. Ditto vision. Thankful for eyeglasses, eye surgeries. But those only got me to "good" not "great".

But, isn't this all pretty pretty predictable? Aging, whether it is our bodies, our pets, our homes, our vehicles. None of us escapes it. Some, I'm thinking of Betty White here, does it with humor. If I am going to mimic she is one I hope to model.

I used to do a lot of yoga and I managed to do the splits like Van Damme every day, now I don't do it much because I lost some flexibility, I just exercise and practice Mayombe.

Yo solia hacer mucho yoga y logre hacer la abertura de piernas es decir el split y spagat como Van Damme a diario, ahora no lo hago mucho perdi la flexibilidad un poco, solo me ejercito y practico mayombe.

Dancing, I use to do it when I frequented bars but I haven't in years and years, so I dance and sing, at home.
