I Don't Know What Old Is, But Old Is Older Than Me

Sherwood Eliot Wirt is not spending his time sitting on the porch in a rocking chair, and he encourages you not to as well! In this inspiring and feisty preview of the "golden years," Wirt illustrates that growing older means reaching the best part of life. He stresses that we are not meant to fade away into a dim old age, but we were created to capture a dynamic and fulfilling vision for an exciting life.

You will laugh, think, and want to stand up and cheer as Wirt challenges the myths of old age in this manifesto for modern maturity. I Don't Know What Old Is, But Old Is Older Than Me encourages us all to take another look at what it means to move into your sixties and beyond.

"Don't lay us out in lavender yet; we are just as much alive and (in our way) vigorous as anybody. We are not 'old folks'; we are simply folks who are older." An active visionary offers personal insight on.....

Love: "Regardless of how long one has been drawing Social Security, one can enjoy the thrills of attraction, fascination, affection, and all the rest of it."

Vision: "The number one problem with us older people, as I see it, is a lack of vision. A well-worn saying has it that we are immortal till our work is done. I would supplement that statement by saying that we are immortal till the vision fades."

Contentment: "When we have learned to be satisfied with what we have and are settled down to the enjoyment of it, growing old can be a serene experience. Contentment becomes a glorious feeling, really. We take pleasure in the butterflies and hummingbirds with a new delight."
