The title of this book attracted me because I’m in the “aging” group and always wanting to find ways to be graceful in it. Needless to say, I did find Norma Roth’s book “Aging Gracefully” a pleasant read. Although she doesn’t say anything new or anything that hasn’t been written about already, she does give encouraging words to steer us in the right direction.

Many of us, as we age, joke about memory loss and loss of train-of-thought.  However, this isn’t a joking matter - it really does happen and we often feel embarrassed or upset with ourselves.  Roth acknowledges this in her book and gives us tips on what to do when it happens.  It was a refreshing reminder to read her tips and I hope to remember to use them when the situation arises.

I commend Roth on providing this book for a never-ending group of people entering the aging cycle.  We need encouragement and direction on the way and “Aging Gracefully” does provide it.  If you are afraid of aging, don’t be because it’s really not that bad.  Using various tips in this book will give you confidence and poise throughout the process.
