In this intimate and funny collection of essays, Zen Buddhist and writer Susan Moon maintains her sense of humor as she provides thoughtful insights on getting older. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eThis Is Getting Old\u003c\/i\u003e, Moon touches on both the ups and downs of aging: Her bones are weakening, but she still feels her inner tomboy. She finds herself both an orphan and a matriarch following the death of her mother. She admits to sometimes regretting pieces of her past and to being afraid of loneliness. These musings, written with Moon's signature wit and grace, are a touching exploration and celebration of life, age, and our \"senior moments\"--plus a powerful reminder to be in the here and now.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Shambhala\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/08\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781590307762\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 6.62w x 0.52d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/12\/2010 pg. 45\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Susan Moon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43084175769781,"sku":"9781590307762","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_f2fe9b9d-7ca4-434c-a721-c04091bc88dc.jpg?v=1692112093","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/this-is-getting-old-zen-thoughts-on-aging-with-humor-and-dignity-9781590307762","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
