More DescriptionMore Thoughts on Aging with Grace covers a potpourri of issues on the minds of older adults these days. As our numbers increase so do the subjects that interest us. Aging isn't just a matter of adding years to one's life; it is also about adding quality to that life. What we need as we get older is what we needed when we were young: physical and mental well-being, community, autonomy, self-esteem, and a sense of purpose.In addition to those overarching issues, there are many practical concerns that vie for our attention. They include safety, sickness, loss, grief, ageism, family, financial security, love, retirement, climate change, living arrangements, happiness, sadness, scams, technology, and for the first time in our lives, a global pandemic. These and more are covered within the pages of More Thoughts on Aging with Grace. This is not an exhaustive list because, as the number of older adults heads toward more than 73.1 million by 2030 and an estimated 85.7 million by 2050, the range of subject matter and new information will increase right along with the numbers.In the meantime, to provide the information that older Americans need to know, there are hundreds of articles on the Web; online, cable, and print news media; and, of course, books. It would take the rest of our lives to make a dent in the sixty thousand books on aging listed on Amazon, of which one thousand are devoted to aging with grace. This is a timely topic that will only grow in importance as the Baby Boomers hit their later years. The number of people aged sixty-five and older in the United States Americans is increasing at an unprecedented pace. How to Age with Grace and More Thoughts on Aging with Grace bring new information and insight to a subject that takes on more significance with each passing year.
