I'm not as old as I used to be

by Frances Weaver

Frances Weaver's book The Girls with the Grandmother Faces taught us that we are never too old or out of practice to grab hold of life's pleasures. In I'm Not As Old As I Used to Be, Weaver tackles the tougher issues in an unflinching yet humorous look at the strife we face as we grow older when, once again, we must fend for ourselves and get on with our lives. Speaking directly from her heart, Weaver shares her personal journey of growing older - from the pain and. grieving that accompany widowhood, to her bout with alcoholism and her courageous recovery. From coping with widowhood to making peace with life's inevitable changes, Weaver's practical suggestions and enlightened advice in I'm Not As Old As I Used to Be emphasizes the importance of acceptance and forging ahead. Drawing from personal experience, Weaver urges us to embrace life with a renewed sense of vitality and purpose, along with the knowledge that getting older means. good times lie ahead.
