Introduction

I've been challenged by two good friends to see if blogging would be a good way to hold this conversation.

I am (of course) a boomer, heading into old age.  I've been giving this journey a lot of thought.  I've read several books and numerous magazines on the subject.  I even facilitated a workshop (designed by someone else) on how to retire successfully.  But I'm unhappy with most of the advice on this topic.  It all seems to be focussed on how to stay young. 

Of course, I want to stay healthy.  But I'm quite sure that this third trimester (as I've started to call it) must have some beauty and benefits all its own.  I want to discover what those are for myself.  So this blog will be a place for me to record my journey.
