I think most of us tend to live each day, one a day at a time. I know I didn't think about growing older over the years. I was busy with the tasks of being a wife, a mother and a teacher. In mid-life I was surprised by a diagnosis of breast cancer and my sense of awareness of living each day began to change. I became mindful of the world around me in a deeper sense but here was something else happening of which I was unaware. I was growing older. Some personal life experiences caused me to once again 'pay attention' and I was back to writing. Another book was on my mind and in my heart.
This book is for all of you ordinary people who, like me, are growing older. What I discovered is that none of us are 'ordinary'. Aging brings fears and joys, challenges and adventures. Aging is not a 'dance in the park' but it is inevitable and we can do it! We all experience it differently. I have included stories of my adventures as well as stories from others who are on the same path. There are thoughts for quiet times as well as ways in which you can participate in the process. It's a book for you to read as you discover your journey of growing older, one day at a time.
We can do this journey together as we support and love each other through the experience.
