Aging With Grace and Purpose

About the Book

This book is the result of my desire to share what I have learned from the experiences of a long life. I have tried to be realistic about reaching old age and making good decisions about my life. So many of my contemporaries seem to be in a state of denial as they age. They do not want to admit that their physical capabilities have diminished. I hope this book will help them realize that they need to plan ahead. It makes it so much easier if your families know your desires. None of us wants to be a burden to our loved ones. Hopefully, we can live a healthy old age and enjoy what strengths we have left. I am particularly grateful that even though my body doesn’t work too well, I still have my mind.
