by leasbarbiedolls...Mar 15, 2013
Since I am not retired, I am still reading it, and find it very positive.
I have enjoyed this book of quotes so much that I am in the process of buying one for both my siblings. It is bright and positive about growing older. All the things you have never had time to do, happen in older age.
