Now that youre a senior citizen, does it seem as though your life has shrunk around you, leaving little behind the outside world? Perhaps your friends have begun to avoid youor vice versa. Maybe youve even become a grump. If any of this sounds familiar, dont worry; you can find a reasonable way to change your behavior. Leaving the Autumn Years explores how seniors react, both negatively and positively, to changes in their daily lives and how their mind-sets in various situations can shift dramatically. It considers why people behave the way they do and provides self-assessments designed to help you understand your lifestyle and reactions with new perspective. At age seventy-nine, author Gerald Kastigar shares his knowledge and wisdom, built from his life experiences as a keen observer of human nature; examines how people create the conditions and mind-sets of their lives; and offers methods for adjusting your outlook to improve your health and happiness. This self-help guide seeks to assist older people in understanding truths about themselves and discovering how to make the changes they feel are necessary.

This is a beginner's guide to contemplation for anyone in the second half of life and also a love story. Autumn Years describes the practice of contemplation as part of a strategy of successful aging.

It also looks at other practices as well: yoga, lectio divina, koan study, music meditation, dream work, and even travel as pilgrimage. 'Shows that marriage is as much a spiritual journey as monasticism... youth only the beginning of the human exploration of wonder, divine passion, and holiness.' Laurence Freeman, O.S.B., director of the World Community of Christian Meditation

Harry and Vera have lost their long term spouses and are struggling to adjust to life as senior citizens who are single again. They were drawn together when Harry impusively buys an old watercolor in a Maine antique shop. It is in very bad condition and Harry asks Vera, an accomplished artist, to help him restore it. She discovers the watercolor conceals a beautiful oil portrait of a gorgeous woman which a prominent museum in Washington identifies as the work of Winslow Homer. This plunges Harry and Vera into an action packed quest to establish provenance since the circumstances of the discovery suggest it was stolen. Along the way they also unravel the identity of the woman and the story of Homers tragic love affair with a girl he met during the peninsula campaign in the Civil War. As they are engaged in their joint enterprise, a lovely Geriatric Romance evolves and comes to fruition when provenance is established and the painting is sold.

When the leaves in autumn wither With a tawny tanned face…’ Old age and the process of ageing are things that we all think about at some time, either because we see people close to us growing old or because we ourselves are becoming conscious of the years passing. This collection is a selection of poems on what it’s like to be and to become old, experienced from within or observed from the outside, by poets ranging from Shakespeare to T. S. Elliot to Philip Larkin – and a few you may not have heard of. Old age is many-faceted. It can show us the indomitable courage of Elizabeth Bishop’s ‘Fish’, the gentle, force-of-nature persistence of Wordsworth’s ‘Old Man Travelling’, and the cheeky bloody-mindedness of Lewis Carroll’s ‘Father William’. There are sad poems, funny poems, bleak poems, romantic poems, wistful, heartening and inspiring poems – the whole spectrum of human life, in fact.
