Fun, honest, from the heart
A fun read about getting older, wiser, slower, and often funnier. I gave it 5 star even though it doesn’t reveal revolutionary news about getting older, but I really like and appreciate that it’s written from the heart. I am 66 and still stand on my head as part of my daily morning exercising. Give it a try, it’s not that hard...
Thanks for making me laugh while reading and for speaking directly out of my heart as well as into my heart. I really enjoyed reading the book.
