"When Did Everybody Else Get So Old?" by Jennifer Grant

Aging brings a set of problems no one seems prepared for. Changes happen to health, body, occupation, family, friends, etc. Soon we are looking around and wondering, "When Did Everybody Else Get So Old?" In this new book, Jennifer Grant takes a look at the entire situation and offers help to get through it.

The kids are gone, high school reunion #XX, friends/family dying, wrinkles, new aches and pains, changes in our spiritual/emotional/physical life all brought on by aging. The question is can we laugh through the learning? Can we see ourselves in the "old people" we see around us? This book is filled with poignant and funny stories and honesty that keeps readers glued to the page. 

I loved this book! I didn't have a problem going into my 40's or my 50's, but am seeing more changes as I embark on the 60's. This book kept me glued to the pages, laughing and feeling for those in the stories. It's time to take a look at the changes that have come to our lives - empty nest, stories to share, people looking up to you, maybe feeling lost - time to make the changes to help us enjoy each stage God brings us to. This is a great book not only for readers 30ish and older to have in their home for the wisdom it contains, but also to give as a gift to those who need the help this book will provide. I highly recommend it!
