This morning a friend sent me the link for the AGING WELL magazine . (In case the internet is not your “thing” you can click on the magazine title here in this message and it will take you to their website.) Anyway– from there I clicked on a list of 100 top boomer websites http://www.seniorsforliving.com/blog/2011/03/10/top-100-senior-boomer-blogs-websites/ which you can also check out …
The fact is there are TONS of resources AND … Hilary and I particularly want to encourage you to make sure that before getting swamped in the sea of information you set a date for yourself to think about, discuss, complete and register your advanced directive! Like having car insurance, we see that action as bottom line for ensuring that your future has a safety net designed to fit YOUR hopes and beliefs.
My dream would be that anyone who has a driver’s license is required to also complete an advanced directive. Why shouldn’t every single person who is permitted to drive a potential machine of death be required to also consider what should be done if they are badly damaged in a car accident? Thus 
I don’t really relegate this issue to those 55 and older BUT it’s a good place to start.

Greetings..love your site!
You are invited to share in a family’s last walk on their block. Due to their elderly mother’s sudden passing, a family of four gather together and walk their former block back to their past in a moving and touching journey in time. Revisiting their roots, upbringing and past they reconnect with their long gone childhood years. Their stroll is filled with lovingly shared adventures, wholesome values and inspiring virtues. Life in the 50′s and 60′s comes vividly back to reality in this awe-inspiring path to the past. Personal, humorous, and charming neighborhood reflections based on motivating and enlivened homespun memories line their journey. A time long gone by comes roaring back to life in this personal reflection! Join The Last Walk on Our Block and relive your own memories of life as we all knew it.
Hello Ron! Sounds wonderful. Is this on a website? I will try searching for it but please feel free to add a link yourself! We are hoping readers will add their own stories on the stories page of our site… all in due time!
