Description
This book is designed to convey the observations of an individual who has recently navigated the seas of the 80s and is encamped on the shores of the 90s – a fourth quarter personal experiential summary.
It combines four essential life factors: physical, mental, social, and spiritual into a conceptual framework of meaningful accomplishments. The text is written from the perspective of a layman, not a clinician or doctor.
It features approximately 45 suggested activities that offer the reader an opportunity to live a purposeful life of continued exploration rather than withdraw from the world at large and simply rest on his/her memories.
What I enjoyed the most about this book was its theme – lead a purposeful not a wasteful end-of-life experience. Its motivational theme is one we all should pursue.
I so wish that my mother would elect to learn through reading rather than aimlessly watching TV soap operas. What a waste of her final years!
The fact that you supplied those many activity ideas is most helpful. Certainly therein is a practical concept that each of us can latch onto. I have chosen birding as a field of interest. These flying creatures provide a broad range of opportunities for involvement and study.
You, the writer, have led a broad and interesting life. One might liken it to a novel which transports the reader through the several phases of senior living. It plays out as a story of our fourth quarter with its opportunities and pitfalls on display.
