Description
Aging is an inescapable part of life, something we celebrate when we are young and intent on achieving all those milestones – 16 and driving! 18 and voting! 21 and drinking! – but that becomes more sobering as the milestones are fewer and perhaps grimmer. This book addresses, from the point of view and personal experience of a 65-year-old baby boomer with a bad hip, how we got here, how we carry on our journey with grace and humor, and where we are going next.

This is a wonderful book, a book to be savored, and I have urged my friends to buy and read it. At times it feels like a personal journal, and at other times like a deep conversation between good friends. It is full of wisdom on subjects that matter most.

Valerie Schultz's gem of a book sets out to answer the question: "What are we going to do with the time we have left?" She shares her personal struggles with us while pointing the way to "go down swinging." Equally wise and funny, this is an upbeat contribution to the growing conscious aging library.

Valerie Schultz encourages us to embrace the messy, sometimes delightful, sometimes difficult journey that is aging, leaning on a sturdy sense of humor and wise grace as she shares her own challenges and joys.
