I'm interested in health and fitness now: it's so important as we get older to look after our physical and our mental well-being. Life is what you make it! If you’re 65+ you need to get your A into G and join the PAAG (Positive Ageing Advisory Group). All of you who write to the paper or make comments on your devices should think about it. I didn't see myself as ageing when I joined the group, but I get it now. You've got to be positive, you've got to have an optimistic outlook on life don't you? That’s not easy for me right now, I could be an advocate for the public health system. But you have to keep going for it. It's a bugger getting old - write that down - it's how you handle it that matters.”

Jenny is on the Positive Ageing Advisory Group which helps Council set policy that works for everybody. If you want to join her or if you know someone that could, applications close on February 14.
