People can embark on successful new journeys at any age both in careers and hobbies and in and out of the limelight. For Senior Citizen's Month, here is a look at a few people who have taken on inspirational endeavors later in life.

Well-known chef and author Julia Child, born in 1912, debuted her first cookbook "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" at the age of 49 and wrote more than a dozen cookbooks in the decades to follow. She debuted her show “The French Chef” at 50 years old and continued doing the show for 10 years. She then took on new cooking shows through the end of the 1990s when she was in her late 80s. She passed away in 2004, at the age of 91, having left her mark on the cooking world and beyond. Biography.com quoted her as having said, "In this line of work...you keep right on till you're through."

Judge Judy Scheindlin, born in 1942, served in New York's Family Court for 25 years until she left in 1996. That same year, at age 54, she started the “Judge Judy” televised court show that remains on the air 21 years later. She is now 75 and, according to her website, signed a multi-year contract through 2020 to produce new programming. She has published several books, her first having come out when she was 54. She once told the New York Daily News, "I'm not tired. I still feel engaged by what I do and I still have people who like to watch it."

Harland Sanders, better known as Colonel Sanders, was born in 1890. He served as a blacksmith’s help, fireman, lawyer, insurance

salesman, laborer, and a motel owner, according to his biography on thefamouspeople.com. It was not until 1952, at age 62, that he franchised out the first Kentucky Fried Chicken, having impressed people with his chicken containing 11 herbs and spices. By 1964, at age 74, he had created a successful food chain across America. He sold the corporation that year for $2 million, retaining its Canadian operations. He passed away in 1980, having left behind a legacy that spread across the world.

Also proving age is just a number:

Jack Weil remained CEO of the western-wear brand Rockmount Ranch Wear until age 107.

Painter Anna Mary Robertson Moses began her painting career at age 78. In 2006, a painting of hers achieved $1.2 million.

Writer Harry Bernstein penned "The Invisible Wall: A Love Story That Broke Barriers,” which earned him literary fame at age 96.

Skills to try out on your own journey:

Cooking: Seek out a new recipe, gather ingredients, and make something new.

Technology: Try to learn more on a device you find challenging, like a smartphone, computer, tablet or e-reader.

Arts & Crafts: Whether drawing, painting, collaging, scrapbooking, taking photos, knitting, sewing, or making soap, exploring creative outlooks is fun and rewarding.

Foreign Language: Learning a new language is so great for the brain, it physically increases it.

Senior Citizens Day is celebrated in the United States on August 21, 2017. The day raises awareness and recognizes the contributions senior citizens give to the society of the United Sates. A senior citizen is a person of at least 60 years of age and part of the fastest-growing demographic worldwide. President Ronald Reagan was the initiator of the Senior Citizens Day in the USA, on August 19, 1988

Throughout our history, older people have achieved much for our families, our communities, and our country… For all they have achieved throughout life and for all they continue to accomplish, we owe older citizens our thanks and heartfelt salute.”

Ronald Reagan,

President of the United States

PERSPECTIVE

Today is the absolute worst day ever

And don’t try to convince me that

There’s something good in everyday

Because, when you take a closer

look,

This world is a pretty evil place.

Even if

Some goodness does shine through

once in a while

Satisfaction and happiness don’t last.

And it’s not true that

It’s all in the mind and heart

Because

True happiness can be obtained

Only if one’s surroundings are good

It’s not true that good exists

I’m sure you can agree that

The reality

Creates

My attitude

It’s all beyond my control

And you’ll never in a million years

hear me say that

Today was a good day
