Ageless Soul by Thomas Moore

This book came across my Facebook feed a few years ago, and the "trailer" seemed so relevant to this season of life that we discussed adding it to our book club list, as it would pertain to the women of that "certain age"...of which most of us are!  So happy that never happened!! I did make it through to the end, but Moore wanders, heading down some rabbit trails and not coming to conclusions; which may be the nature of therapists OR the nature of authors of a "certain age"!!  I was hoping for some inspiration in the art of growing older and the one thing that I took away was in giving grace to older people...and I am in total agreement!  Observing my dad in his assisted care facility gave me a head start on this...it's not easy to move fast, nor talk fast, nor dress fast, nor eat fast.  Minds wander and sometimes don't get back on track, responsibilities don't get accomplished in one day.  Ageless Soul is a reminder of what is to come...I will continue to pray that grace will abound, both to my friends and to myself.
