The senior years bring with them many transitions; changes in our physical appearance, possible reduction in cognitive abilities or illness, smaller social circles, or the loss of a spouse, for example. Often, as well, there is a loss of self-confidence and independence; a sense of lost control in daily lives.

Our age demographics are changing; a shift resulting in an aging population increasing more dramatically than in the past. Aging is a gift, one in which we should acknowledge the wisdom attained with the passing years and appreciate the process by trying to live the healthiest and happiest moments in time we possibly can.
