Don't Write Me Off! Thirty-Nine Stories of Older Adulthood

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

When the body starts to go is about when wisdom starts to come. In thirty-nine personal narratives, the storytellers in this book, ranging in age from 59-102 - talk tachlis (truth) about what age has given and what age has taken away. Through stories of loss - of faculties, of physical prowess, of spouses, of children - we see the strength and perseverance that comes with living through life's many challenges. And we see the appreciation that also comes for the simple joys in life - making new friends, baking, playing mahjong and canasta, starting a readers theater, adopting a pet, volunteering, learning, exploring faith, and enjoying grandchildren, great grandchildren and great great grandchildren. These thirty-nine unique voices come together in a colorful mosaic that illuminates older adulthood in an engaging, deeply touching and sometimes very entertaining collection. Contributors: Larry L.
