Today, though, I highly recommend the above book to all the baby boomers out there who have been in the least bit concerned about aging.  Notice that this book is not about aging gracefully but about &amp;ldquo;The Grace in Aging.&amp;rdquo;  The concerns here are not about what&amp;rsquo;s on the outside but what&amp;rsquo;s on the inside.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Bon Voyage, Au Revoir, Goodbye!</title><link>/posts/bon-voyage-au-revoir-goodbye/</link><pubDate>Mon, 20 Aug 2012 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/posts/bon-voyage-au-revoir-goodbye/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All the cemetery images in this collage were taken on my last visit to Parklawn where my parents are buried.  The angels are photographed from a souvenir print I brought with me from Italy that has nothing but angels. The African Violets were taken at my friend&amp;rsquo;s apartment.  Events of the past few weeks have turned my thoughts to death and dying.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
