On Being Old (with Acceptance and Gratitude) is a true story of how three friends happened to get together after many years of total separation from each other. Mary Jo, Nadine, and Sam took up right where they left off, talking and laughing, questioning and filling each other in about their lives. They discussed the feelings that come with aging, the fears, and the physical changes. They communicated more honestly than in their younger days and covered topics that they had not in the past.

Read this heartwarming collection of personal stories, from three totally different people with totally different views on most subjects, and perhaps you will identify with one of the characters and find a path and companionship into yourself as they did.

Reviews

Darryl Silva

"I read it and enjoyed it. It was a great take on the big issues everyone deals with. It’s funny – there was a section where you thought of yourself as still adolescent at one point in your life, but when you worked for me you brought such mature leadership that spread throughout the program to others. I remember walking you to the elevator on 12/12/12 and can’t believe that was nine years ago."

"Timing is everything! A much needed look into “The good old life.” With my mom’s outlook on life lately, she has made aging look unbearable. While her diminished mental capacities play into it, I didn’t realize how much I needed some positive motherly insight and guidance. Your three takes on the aging game helped more than you will know. Can’t tell you how much I needed to see joy and acceptance of this natural process and am grateful you all have kept mentally healthy to write this charming, sincere, insightful book. Thank You."

Dianne Patterson

"I really enjoyed this book. The honesty and humor are so refreshing! I saw myself in many of your thoughts and stories and love the graphics and quotations that introduced each chapter. The book is full of good advice for us seniors but my favorite is chapter 8, The Philosophy of Life. You ladies have shown that there is more than one way to make this journey. You should take pride in a job well done!"

"Judie and I both read this book and loved it. Of course, being a good friend of one of the writers helped. Her memories were the best. However, with all the stories and remembrances we were able to bring back similar thoughts to our past. It can be hard growing old and sometimes all we have is the memories. But, we did enjoy them as they came and reminded us of all the good times we had growing up with such a diversified group of friends. This is easy reading and one of those books you just don't want to put down. Always looking forward to the next memory. Thanks to all these women who shared their life with us."

"I just finished reading my current best book on growing Old w/ Acceptance and Gratitude. I enjoyed and related to each of these 3 Ladies. What a WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE.?!THANKS for sharing. I do want to read it again - it is so 'true to life'.

Well, the book is absolutely charming! ....Such generous women to write so honestly.

I read the book almost immediately upon receiving itI Googled “a Cursillo” - had not heard of it before.

It would be fun to meet all three of these marvelous women some day. The book, I must add, is so very well written. And, I liked the format, allowing each of the women a voice in each chapter on well-chosen topics.

Congratulations to the authors."

below average value but decent quality on this 95.4% Polyester, 4.6% Spandex dress shirt
Special Size: Black Buttons, Size: Large, Color: Sky Blue, Special Size: Black Buttons, Size: Large, Color: Sky Blue
At $20 when I picked this up, it was overpriced for what it was. I'm held accountable to the value assigned to me at the time I select to review it, so I review the value based on what was assigned not on what it later becomes if they discount it. As I write this I can see it is in a value range it should have been for me, but I'm still reviewing it at the $20. That's overpriced on a 95.4% Polyester, 4.6% Spandex shirt (i.e., non-cotton) and so the value here is a 1/5 or 2/5, say 1.5/5 for it. In terms of quality, this is a poly dress shirt. Still, I'd call this a 4/5 for what it is. The standard is cotton, and in my experience, as someone in ties and collared shirts all day, I would note that I do prefer a 95 cotton/5 spandex blend, with the challenge that its not the most wrinkle free material. This blend, 95 poly/5 spandex, is a very wrinkle free and smooth feeling material. Poly has better durability than cotton despite feeling thinner, because it won't fray as much. That said, even though it's lightweight, poly will make you hotter because it doesn't breathe like cotton. It feels light, so you think it is going to be cooler, but in practice actually isn't really if it's a hot day. It can make you sweat more. That said, many people like poly blends for the ease of maintenance. I've given up dry cleaning, just too much, and I do like to avoid an iron, so I tested this out because of it. For me this fit well. I ordered a large (typically I prefer to wear a 16.5/34/35, and I'm 5'11, 185) and this fit well. It's not a slim fit (tapered bottom) for those who might complain about extra material. But it fit well. I put it through both the wash and dryer. It did not shrink (poly usually doesn't) to be out of size, but was fine, and of course came out without wrinkles. The collars have no stays, these poly shirts hardly ever do, but I have found they mostly remain flat, since the material doesn't tend to wrinkle, and thus my points stay in place just fine. At a 1.5 on value and a 4 on quality, this is a 2.75/5 average for me. Again, value plays a big part for me. So, full disclosure a better value would have raised my rating on this. But hopefully, based on what I covered above, you have enough to figure out if this shirt is worth it to you or not.

Nice dress shirt
Special Size: Black Buttons, Size: Large, Color: Grey
This shirt is a super soft and an awesome style, which I really love. The material is a soft cotton and that doesn’t irritate my skin. It is breathable, but also keeps you relatively warm. It’s very nice looking on and would be okay for everyday wear. It has been used many times going out with jeans or shorts out. I wash and dry it regularly in a machine and still looks just as new as the out of box condition. There is no pilling, fabric change, or shrinking. The style is flattering, cut well, and runs true to size. Other shirts owned feel similar to this one, which meets expectations and is a nice shirt for the price. I do wish it had a pocket though. Ultimately would purchase again.

Sharp-looking business shirt at a great price
Special Size: Black Buttons, Size: X-Large, Color: Rhine Blue
This long sleeve dark blue shirt is a great choice for a business casual look. The "Rhine Blue" color really stands out — it’s very bold without being over the top, and it gives the shirt a sharp, polished appearance. The stitching is very well done, with clean lines and no loose threads, which adds to the overall quality. It fits nicely and maintains a crisp look throughout the day. The material is mostly polyester with some spandex, so it feels smooth, lightweight, and is actually breathable. It stays comfortable during long wear and doesn’t feel heavy or restrictive. Overall, it’s a sharp, well-made shirt that delivers both style and comfort at a great level. It was a good deal at the original price of about $20, but at the new price of about $15, it's an excellent deal. I may get another in a different color.

Very comfortable and looks great!
Size: X-Large, Color: Navy Blue, Size: X-Large, Color: Navy Blue
This shirt is surprisingly really nice for the price. Really nice even regardless of the price. It fits and looks great on my hubby. We liked it so much that I bought him another one in a different color. Will probably even buy more. The large ran a little small, so we got him an extra large and it was great.
