Happy Tuesday!

Nobody hands you a guide to this chapter. So this week, we're sharing a few things worth knowing — about your health, your travels, your friendships, and what comes next. That’s a 50+ life.

Digging in the dirt does more than fill your beds with color. Julie Dee Suman on why getting your hands in the soil is one of the most quietly powerful things you can do for your well-being — at any age.

Wild horses, Wright Brothers, vineyards by the Atlantic, and ferry rides that take you back in time. Jeanne Savelle on the barrier-island stretch of North Carolina that doesn't just take you somewhere — it brings you back to yourself.

Why your best friendships may still be ahead. Amy Huffman Oliver on the unexpected gift of connection after 50 — and the simple strategies that help genuine friendships find you.
