Over 80: Reflections on Aging

by Marilyn Reynolds

What does it mean to live well in late life? Marilyn Reynolds showcases twenty-eight essays on how to survive a sudden health crisis, create your own form of spirituality, share a dog, and think about the past without becoming mired in it. Reynolds’ voice is unsentimental, wry and realistic with a take-no-prisoners love of life and other people. Over 80: Reflections on Aging will appeal to anyone looking to live a meaningful life, whether aged 20 or 90. From the joys that friendships, family, and active living bring, to the challenges of an old body, Reynolds’ take on life is poignant and laugh-out-loud funny. Both practical and inspirational, her essays are for anyone traveling the bumpy path to a long life.

Ms Reynolds elder-life observations, set off reminders of my own ife. They weren't always related by topic, but she illicits generalized 'having-lived' thoughts that raised incidents and themes from my ife. Very topical reading for someone who has reached 80 within a month of this read.

Very nice.
