Have you ever read books like Who Moved My Cheese…..
As I lurch into my Golden Ages, I still try to keep up with what’s new. I’ve got gadgets. Control my thermostat with my phone- yes please! Got a pan that tells me how to cook- I’ll take two. I’ve got hashtags! #firstworldproblems, #WednesdayWisdom. I wear leisure athletic apparel everywhere. I read blogs. One morning, while sipping my cold brew coffee and reading a favorite blog, I came upon a term that I didn’t recognize, Aging in Place. Hmmm. Wait, I…..
