“I run for hope.
I run to feel.
I run for the truth, for all that is real.
I run for your mother, your sister, your wife.
I run for you and me, my friend,
I run for life.”

The overabundance of stuff isn’t the only danger lurking in our homes.  If your home seems out to get you, realize it is doing the best it can. After all, it was likely built with little regard for the physical abilities or needs of its occupants who planned to grow old there and it’s also aging in place.

I have spent my adult life working for nonprofits. As an unmarried woman my only weapons against poverty are the diligent stashing of retirement money, a hope for an eternal up market, and whatever Social Security is left when it is my turn to collect.

“When I retired, I wasn’t going to sit around and watch soap operas,” says Susan Nessen. “I like children, so I started out volunteering in a school classroom.”
