Curiosity and Magic at 80+

Curiosity went down to the woods and had a surprise.

Fear of Ageing? So Strange!  Where Has It Come From?
Let's Challenge Unthinking Ageism

Fear of Ageing? So Strange! Where Has It Come From?

Almost a tsunami! Sensible people worrying, fretting, feeling anxious about ageing, yet actually heading for the best stage of their lives!

How did that happen?
