Introduction

This book is the result of my desire to share what I have learned from the experiences of a long life. I have tried to be realistic about reaching old age and making good decisions about my life.

On Aging

So many of my contemporaries seem to be in a state of denial as they age. They do not want to admit that their physical capabilities have diminished. I hope this book will help them realize that they need to plan ahead. It makes it so much easier if your families know your desires.

Living a Healthy Old Age

None of us wants to be a burden to our loved ones. Hopefully, we can live a healthy old age and enjoy what strengths we have left. I am particularly grateful that even though my body doesn't work too well, I still have my mind.
