Why I started Gracefulaging

In the seven decades of my life, I have been a daughter, a sister, a wife, a mother, a teacher, a singer, a writer, and an experiencer of life. I have had a rich and fulfilling life and it goes on!

I had a rewarding career as a teacher, had a family to raise, a husband to care for and eventually caretake, and a charming mother who enriched my life for 73 years!

Now I am at the crossroads of my third quarter century. I want to continue the process of living in a graceful way, learning to deal with the large and small issues that face aging people. I want my brain to stay sharp. I want to share my experiences with others and learn from their responses.

Thus I begin this challenge of maintaining a webpage and blog, hoping to share with you the ways I have learned to deal with my particular life. 

After I get the hang of this new thing, I plan to write about some health issues that have been a challenge to me. I hope you will sign for my RSS feed so that you will get updates in your mailbox without having to go to my website every day.

And, please be patient with me  as I learn on this new adventure. 

Much of what I say may seem trivial to you. But my blog is basically a journal of my every day life and how it revolves around living in Florida. Now I am at the crossroads of my third quarter century.   As I step through that door, come along with me once in a while. We may learn from one another and make a new friend!!!
