You are reading a lifestyle blog for women seventy-five years and older. However, this is an all-inclusive blog, and women of all ages are welcome here! I'll be blogging on aging, fashion, finance, family, and other senior fun stuff.
My name is GG -- actually, it's not -- the initials stand for the Goddess Grandmother which is a mouthful and so my granddaughters prefer just calling me GG. Currently, I am the oldest woman in the family, so I happily accept the title, Goddess Grandmother, or the synonym. Some of the girls spell my name GiGi, so let's go with that. I am over 80 years old and no beauty by any means...but I do have all of my teeth.
The women in our family are self-proclaimed goddesses, purely a state of mind and achievable for every woman. We celebrate the strength, intelligence, humor, and sense of adventure that we treasure in one another. Occasionally when we get together, we wear our tiaras and share adult beverages.
While I may not be an expert on aging, I am experiencing the process on a daily basis. I possess past and present personal knowledge and am always prepared to speculate on the future. At times, I may be opinionated. I'll be silly. I'll be serious.
On this blog, you'll find information, helpful resources, encouragement, and support -- hopefully with a chuckle or two.
From time to time I'll be quoting the U.S. Census Bureau, CDC, the National Council of Senior Citizens, and other influential aging organizations. Just for some examples, did you know life expectancy has increased, the gender gap has narrowed in mortality rates and we are working longer? Oh, and there's so much more to come. Do you feel invisible? Are you residing in the anti-aging camp? Is your social life a disaster? Have your children taken your keys away?
As of this moment...and I am a woman so I may change my mind...a new blog will appear on My Adventures in Aging every Wednesday. (Perhaps more than once a week if the spirit moves me.)
So please join me and we'll adventure forth and forward together.
