Book Description

My Adventures in Aging: WORTs and All By: Flora Massaro About the Book Everybody likes stories, whether they’re reading or hearing them. And everyone has a story, ei-ther as a short peek into some snippet of their life or a painful look back at drama or remembering and smiling again at a past humorous happening. The trick to surviving life is to jump in and experience it before asking ‘how deep?’, then dry off, sit still and listen, learn and toughen up from the hurt or just chuckle all over again when you find the lighter side of your life. I guess you can call this book a memoir. I look at it as just an ordinary old woman’s collection of stories from her ordinary life. Rather than use the general narrative form of memoir literature, I tell my life in simple stories about who I was as a kid, and then a young mother coping with kids, marriages, friends and suburban life and then growing into the old woman I am now, still trying to live a responsible but fun life, always looking for the bright side. This book is a collection of a lot of that.
