So compassionate and so helpful, as always, Janice. Thank you for all the encouragement you offer. I am a great believer in going to the "experts". Sometimes I have no self confidence, and rightly so! I can't do plumbing, I can't fix my broken fence, I can't do my taxes, trim my trees, choose the right supplemental insurance, etc etc. But I CAN confidently find those whose job it is to help with those things. Have you written about where seniors on a low budget can find "professional" help? Maybe I missed it. Sharron
Well... it is a thought. I used to teach English to refugees and immigrants and we teachers made up a small booklet for them advising them of used clothing sources in our area, food banks, legal assistance, free classes, medical help, utility safety checks for their homes, etc - general things that any impoverished newcomer would need. Your "Aging Well" offers us old folks a similar fine guide! It is a wonderful mission you are on, Janice.

No not really, but it's a great idea. That will be my next article. Stay tuned!
