living for the day

They say that age is but a number.  And that you're only as old as you behave.  No more true a message could come to mind as I marvel at this adventurous lady in our travel group somewhere in the Costa Rican rainforest.

I'm too scared to get much closer.  I let the strength of my camera's zoom compensate for the lack of proximity I will allow myself.  Most people I know would be petrified to have such an encounter, and yet, she's all smiles.

I wish I could speak Chinese in this moment.  I'd love to hear some words of wisdom from this radiant elderly woman who clearly knows a thing or two about living for the day.
