How Your Later Years Can Be Your Best Years
We’ve all been there… you wake up…walking past the mirror...when a glance stops you. That slight wrinkle on your cheek wasn't there yesterday. Guess you need to put your glasses on to make sure. Maybe, there’s a pain in your shoulder...you massage it, but nope, still there. Don’t get me started on those achy knees.
