Introduction to my blog

From the moment of our birth, we are all getting older every minute. That is one thing we all have in common, and one thing that most of us over 30 lament. Of course there are all those articles and books telling you to love getting older and highlighting the advantages of getting older. This blog is not going to do that!

Instead I want to share ideas--and hear yours--on adaptations to the challenges of getting older. What helps us? What practical things is it good to know and try? What spiritual or community-based things should we look at? How does it feel at different stages? What can we expect? How can we prepare? How can we be more intentional about something that is going to happen no matter what we do? How can we make it easier, more meaningful? How can we cope physically, financially, emotionally? How can we be of aid to those around us facing similar situations?

Who might be interested in this blog? Hopefully, anyone recognizing their own aging needs. Anyone looking in the mirror and facing those first wrinkles around the eyes, anyone feeling tighter and stiffer after their regular workout or just after getting up in the morning, people dealing with older relatives whom they would like to understand better, maybe even some younger folk who want to hear what it's like on the road ahead.

Welcome to my blog.
