I had a client three times a week for years. She was 96 at the time to which I am referring. I was distraught over the then recent political scene. Dismayed.
She looked at me forthrightly. Upright in her seated stance. Hands crossed regally across her lap. She looked like an ancient queen. She said ' We have muddled through much. We will muddle through this as well.'
And THAT was the end of the conversation before we proceeded to leg extensions and adductor, abductor exercises.
From a woman who grew up in the shadows of WW1, the stock market crash and WW 2, let alone my training : ).
