Thank you for remembering this day, and the importance of taking a positive approach to ageing. Christchurch seems to be pretty proactive on this issue.
Your readers might like to know about my book ‘Spirited Ageing: cultivating the art of renewal’, which gives many practical strategies for a positive approach.
I’m sure you have it in your library, and it’s also available from my website:
