Some years back, I started to think about writing a piece on Aging Gracefully and avoiding the hang-ups and no-good doers who seemed to be out there giving a large assist to the growing population of grey-haired adults marching down the path of diminishing capacities associated with aging, when a friend of mine asked for for advice. How can this be? she moaned, I can't seem to remember things, I don't know where I put things, I am really worried: Is this the scourge of old age creeping up on me? . . . This book is my sharp response: No, I definitely do not think you are losing it. The questions becomes more paramount as the Silver Generation enters into a world where the miracles of science, medicine and technology promise a life span never before seen in this age group-well into their 80's and 90's or more-and health as well! This book explores how to chart your own course, past panic and past outmoded social attitudes, cast off the nonsense and hogwash-and become a part of the a newly emerging Silver Generation of the 21st Century. Divided into two parts, Part I deals with the world as we know it debunking prevalent attitudes that attempt to keep those ''entering that age anxious, panicked and planning for the inevitable, instead of planning for a life. Part II moves on to the wonderful new world awaiting, explores strengths, suggests treasure hunts along old and new pathways, and presents a new paradigm, exploring a unique Personal Retrieval System-within the self that can be accessed, retrieved and utilized for almost an entire lifetime. Aging with Dignity, Integrity & Spunk Intact can become the norm for those of The Silver Generation who are willing to reach for it, and a willing, too, to Age Defiantly!
