AARP New Face of 50+: J. Pat Branch

[♪ music ♪] [AARP® The Magazine - Real Possibilities] [♪ music ♪] [J. Pat] [♪ music ♪] Okay. My name is Pat Branch, I live in Kimberly, Idaho, and I'm 65+ years old. I like driving a lot, like to take—they call them car trips. No, it's truck trips, road trips. I enjoy my friends. I like to fish. I like horses and dogs. I like to wrestle with my dog. That's one of the most fun things. Get up off the couch. Do something. And even if your health is not that great, sit down, take a rest. Sit down, take a rest, get well, then go do something. The best life is when you get to help other people. I like helping people. I get satisfaction out of that. When you take the knowledge that you have over 50 and the knowledge as you get older, it's like a big old pile of manure. If you take that manure and just stack it up, it stinks. But if you spread it all over the field, then everything grows and there's no smell to it, so it benefits everybody. I am a member of AARP and the AARP Motoring Plan, which is probably one of the best plans there is. I don't let life interfere with me having fun. I'm having so much fun now I just ought to be ashamed of myself, because I'm too blessed to be stressed. [♪ music ♪] [Produced by Caitlin E.
