Just wrote a Dream Reweaver posting on "getting to giddy," about my rare good fortune to not only find myself crying giddy tears of disbelief at getting to be me, but that so many of my friends, pleasant acquaintances & practically strangers do, too. And many who don't - but enjoy strong partnerships with a spouse, great kids, work they appreciate, lives that bring meaning to themselves & others - should!
One of my highest goals in working with friends of all ages is helping them lay the groundwork for a giddy old age, one that is marked with an awareness of all they have in their lives, all they offer to themselves & others, all the adventures that still stretch out before them. Can be challenging, at any age, to get people to see all the potential that is in growing old, older, REALLY OLD. And it is there.
The highest goal of what I do is helping older friends find themselves crying giddy tears of disbelief at getting to be themselves, right where they are. What do I want to do with the rest of forever? That's it!
