We will all experience old age if we’re blessed to live that long, but it can be the best time in your life.

I’m now a part of an age group that our society would prefer to be invisible and may feel worthy of being discarded.

The advertising industry bombards us with products we must buy to prevent this tragic outcome. If it weren’t for their wish to scare us into buying their products, old people would be invisible.

Life doesn’t shrink; it expands.

For me, time carries a sense of urgency, but the urgency is to experience every moment.

I have experienced a lot of life. But I have shared your lives, too. I am grateful for the gift you’ve given me.

Our society may wish for me to become invisible, but they will hear my voice.
