Baby boomers have the power to positively impact health-care reform in America. Not only do we have the power, we have the responsibility to live a healthy lifestyle and stay strong for as long as possible. Click here to read my full article on this subject.

I turned 58 in Feb/10. I’ve been married since I was 19, to the same man who still thrills me. We have 3 beautiful daughters, 3 adorable granddaughters, and a 4th grandchild due in August, 2010.
My husband and I both attended college after marriage. He graduated in Texas, I graduated 10 years later in Arizona.
My love has always been writing, but my school didn’t have a journalism department, so I majored in Secondary Education with a concentration in English and history. I absolutely adored going back to college; everyday was an adventure. One time, I almost missing a Shakespeare examination, because I was studying at the library and became so involved in a play that I lost track of time!
I briefly taught high school English, taught adult education, and then moved into social work. In my spare time, I read and wrote. A couple years ago, my husband asked me to quit a dead-end-job and do what I love to do. I took him up on it and write as much as possible.
So here I am nearly 60-years-old! It’s shocking to be so much older than I feel. I’ve become fascinated with the whole subject of aging and the fact that no one escapes its clutches.
This blog isn’t intended to be a scientific study of aging, or a place to get aging related information, such as “Overcoming the Terrors of the Medicare System.” The purpose of this blog is more personal–a conversation, of sorts, between friends–albeit “aging friends!” I want to embrace this time of life and enjoy it as best I can. Writing positively about my life as I age gives perspective to the stage of life so many of us dread.
