Growing Older Takes Courage---And Laughter,
By
This review is from: Gettin' Old Ain't for Wimps: Inspirations and Stories to Warm Your Heart and Tickle Your Funny Bone (Paperback)
Getting older takes courage, inspiration, faith and the gift of laughter..at ourselves. I'm in my 70's, so I know some of the aging process. The ability to laugh at ourselves, to not take us too seriously is a tremendous help. I've read that laughter is good medicine; a healing factor.
The true stories in Karen O'connor's book, Gettin' Old Ain't for Wimps, shows how older people can laugh at the silliness in their lives; the mishaps encountered due to a bit of forgetfulnes or dashing about too hurriedly. Getting older isn't always fun. Karen O'Connor shares brief, inspirational stories of real people living, loving and laughing in their aging years. This book is a great gift for anyone approaching their "older" years. It's fun.

hilarious stories of old age for all ages,
By
This review is from: Gettin' Old Ain't for Wimps: Inspirations and Stories to Warm Your Heart and Tickle Your Funny Bone (Paperback)
I read this book after reading "Getting Old Still Ain't for Wimps" which I found very hilarious and I could see some things through the true stories of things I sometimes do and I'm 27.
After reading " getting Old Still Ain't for Wimps" I thought I'd better get the prequel " Getting Old Ain't for Wimps". What can I say Getting Old Ain't for Wimps appeals to all ages. It is both Funny and Thought provoking. It is a must for Christians and Non - Christians alike.
