Synopsis

Some years back, I started to think about writing a piece on "Aging Gracefully" and avoiding the hang-ups and no-good doers who seemed to be out there giving a large assist to the growing population of grey-haired adults marching down the path of diminishing capacities associated with aging, when a friend of mine asked for for advice. "How can this be?" she moaned, "I can't seem to remember things, I don't know where I put things, I am really worried: Is this the scourge of old age creeping up on me?" . . . This book is my sharp response: "No, " I definitely do not think you are losing it." The questions becomes more paramount as the "Silver Generation" enters into a world where the miracles of science, medicine and technology promise a life span never before seen in this age group-well into their 80's and 90's or more-and health as well! This book explores how to chart your own course, past panic and past outmoded social attitudes, cast off the nonsense and hogwash-and become a part of the a newly emerging Silver Generation of the 21st Century. Divided into two parts, Part I deals with the world as we know it debunking prevalent attitudes that attempt to keep those ''entering that age" anxious, panicked and planning for the inevitable, instead of planning for a life. Part II moves on to the wonderful new world awaiting, explores strengths, suggests treasure hunts along old and new pathways, and presents a new paradigm, exploring a unique Personal Retrieval System-within the self that can be accessed, retrieved and utilized for almost an entire lifetime. Aging with Dignity, Integrity & Spunk Intact can become the norm for those of The Silver Generation who are willing to reach for it, and a willing, too, to Age Defiantly!

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

The author has published a number of poetry books for the mature from a personal perspective, dedicated to the last phase of life. In Scenes From a Summer Home, she finds there need not be boundaries between time and space, between beginnings and endings; while in Fear, Trembling & Renewal, she explores the theme of finding that when "the snow begins to fall," perhaps there is a way "to see the world anew" and-say a resounding YES! to life." In her first full length book: Aging Gracefully with Dignity, Integrity & Spunk Intact; subtitled Aging Definitely, Ms Roth seeks to paint a larger landscape for those moving into their silver years, whom she calls the dynamic, new Silver Generation: for whom the 21st Century has begun to grant longevity and health, opening up endless opportunities for new dreams, new plans and as yet unchartered paths. The author sees this new generation as robust and intelligent, highly skilled individuals, moving into their senior years, but not their vegetative ones. If they are to succeed in the achievements being made possible by science, medicine & technology, then, outmoded barriers and hurdles that stand in their way must be met head on as this Silver Generation moves into an era of unlimited possibilities for Aging Gracefully with Dignity, Integrity and Spunk-and, yes, Aging Defiantly. Ms. Roth sees new meaning in the words of Tennyson's for this new dynamic generation: Come my friends . . . Ti's not too late to seek a newer world . . . strong in will/to strive, to seek to find and not too yield. She invites the reader to join her on this exciting journey of the 21st Century into what may well become: The Age of the Silver Generation.
