Hi Ian,
I agree with you that the networking aspect of blogging, as well as feeling like a contributing member of society, are both crucial as we age. I bet if there were a study done on senior bloggers, it would be found that they have a better quality of life than many of their peers. Add to that the fact that we need the knowledge and life experiences that older people can pass on to future generations and it makes me wish everyone over 50 had a blog:)

As you say Gramma C, GrannyBlogger is ‘well over 80’, a fact that makes the success of her blog all the more impressive. It’s great that seniors, often unfairly stereotyped as technophobes, are embracing new technology and using it to promote the quality of their work. As the article mentions, the networking aspect of blogging is one of its biggest draws; when isolation is a growing problem for the aging population its essential that accessible channels of communication are exploited in order that people retain a good quality of life.

That is such a beautiful poem and I am thankful that you wrote it and shared it. The love of a mother can be the support one needs in those trying times. Children and even adults can be cruel but having the love and support from family and friends who truly see into your soul and not just at your outward appearance can make the difference you need to be a success.

Hi Gail:) I can really relate to the ‘young person in old body’ statement. We used to live across from a playground and often in the warm weather, a fashionably dressed older lady would stop for a quick swing before she continued her walk. In those days I thought she was a bit crazy. Now I understand.

Hi Patti, so nice to have you visit the blog:) I well remember the days when ‘Time goes by so slowly’ was part of the Righteous Brothers song that I fully agreed with when I was young. Now, I hold on to the minutes.
