Senior Moments: Happy Living Over the Hill

By Lita T. Cruz

A certain percentage of the population has the notion that people who are on their early old age or retirement, have mixed or combined emotion of fear and freedom at the same time. Fear... as some of them associate retirement with aging... alienation and detachment from society... generation gap... age discrimination and apprehension with illness and mortalityFreedom... for those who look at seniority as a privilege... no work to worry... blessed with monthly retirement money... children are grown up, independent and married ... no responsibility. Hello peace... goodbye anxiety This book is based on research and shared personal stories of several elders who'd rather be called seniors than elderly. Right after their regular Wednesday bowling practice, the six bosom buddies, Carla, Charles, Michael, Miriam, Joe and Laurena, the senior friends, who were more popular in their club as the 'The Age Fear Fighters' were tired and sweating but they still had the energy to tease each other about the game they loved to play. The team posed as the role model for the elders in their apartment complex and to those seniors whom they meet. Instead of worrying for an added number of years on their birthdays, they counted and celebrated another happy year of freedom. Instead of fearing sickness and death, they look at it as part of life's challenges and the beginning of eternal life.Instead of accepting gifts on their birthdays and Christmas, they treated friends, for celebrating with them as their special buddies. These are some of the reasons why they were branded as, "The Age Fear Fighters."
