About this title

About the Author:

Frances Weaver returned to college at fifty-nine, which sparked a new career for her as a columnist, lecturer, and inveterate traveler. She lives in Colorado and in upstate New York and runs her own company, Midlife Musings.

From AudioFile:

Weaver followed her own advice by self-publishing the print version of this book, which encourages those over 55 to "celebrate life's potential." Her delivery, like her message, is good-spirited and enthusiastic. While there's much to praise about the wisdom of older adults and their contributions to society (as well as to themselves), Weaver warns us,"Being old nowadays is not for sissies." She tells us, not only why, but how we can keep our lives enriched and productive as we enter old age. There aren't many genuinely uplifting books available these days; Weaver's is certainly a rare gem. R.A.P. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
