"The Art of Aging: Celebrating the Authentic Aging Self" - by Alice & Richard Matzkin
A couple, both artists, take a penetrating look at aging through a series of projects that confront their fear and curiosity about growing old. They explore physical changes, sensuality and relationships, aging parents, spirituality and death. Drawing on their personal experiences and the wisdom of older mentors, they conclude that their elder years can be a time of ripening and harvest rather than stagnation and despair. The profusely illustrated book contains a wealth of inspiration, especially for those about to enter old age.

I'm a mortician by profession and have always tried to tell people to love every minute in life regardless of the negative because you will never have that minute again, so just smile.
Powerful presentation. Indeed, beauty comes in all shapes, forms, colors, and ages...despite what pop cultures would have one to think. Whe should celebrate the beauty of life in all of it's forms. Thanks for sharing :) Tonya C.
