In this intimate and funny collection of essays on the sometimes confusing, sometimes poignant, sometimes hilarious condition of being a woman over 60, Susan Moon keeps her sense of humor and she keeps her listener fully engaged. Among the pieces she has included here are an essay on the gratitude she feels for her weakening bones; observations on finding herself both an orphan and a matriarch following the death of her mother; musings on her tendency to regret the past; thoughts on how not to be afraid of loneliness; appreciation for the inner tomboy; and celebratory advice on how to regard "senior moments" as opportunities to be in the here and now.

Loved the authors voice, insight and humor taking us into the process of aging. Loved the specificity of some chapters, ie. Zen practice with aging knees. Found myself saying and thinking “me too” with delight in not being alone in thinking and experiencing these things. Highly recommended.

Very relatable
