Growing older often catches us by surprise! This is a book for "grown-ups" who want to embrace their aging - not fear it. All of us make choices every day about how we look at the tapestry of our lives. Do we focus on it from the picture side? Or do we focus more on the underneath side and all the crisscrossing threads and knots? This view will look confusing and feel discouraging. This side also hides the true life-giving potential of all things. A grown-up who is "real" is one who looks at the tapestry of their life from the picture side now. Gradually, and gratefully, what I have grown to understand and better define about myself, John Kelly, and my parents, and other family members and friends is aging is a special part of the cycle of life designed by our God. God invites us to embrace aging, not fear it. I am offering an opportunity for you to reflect on and honor both sides of the tapestry of your life. I wrote my book of vignettes, life lessons, reflections and prayers for all of us who are grown-ups now, and, who also remember being children. My hope is that it will bless each reader helps you reflect, and remember, with tender compassion and loving acceptance. My dear parents are 94 and 97 as 2020 closes. They transitioned so well from and independent into an assisted-living apartment. They truly have become two of my best role models! I dedicate this book to them.
