The clock is ticking. You and I are all set to go for another twelve months: We have left the old year behind; all things are new and pure; we have made our plans and all systems are in place.

Seniors have a great time sipping coffee and reminiscing. We did this, we did that and on and on we go, day after day. It is kind of fun and perhaps even helpful in this thing called growing old quietly or growing old with a tender spirit.
