"Failure to change will ensure that you will die at the age socially decided by yourself and your family" says Anthony Kearney, author of The Pursuit of Happiness. Once they're retired, many men become potterers, frittering away their time on all the little jobs they could never find time to do before when their employers needed them, and wife followers - she shops, you follow. Your interest in life is restricted to your home and memories of past achievements. Like your dog, you live from meal to meal and day to day...Don't spend the years after 60 waiting to die. Read this book and discover why that's the age when life is just beginning.

There finally comes a time in a person's life where they actually slow down long enough to look around them and see what they have. That time for me was going into retirement and as my father always said, "Things do happen for a reason". My oldest daughter and her husband moved into our house long enough to get their new place finished and along with them they brought a little lady known as Miss Elliot. I cannot express in words the feelings and emotions that having a one and a half year old running around your house can bring out of you. That alone gave me the drive to write this book. As the title states "Living, Laughing & Learning" we have done it all. Our lives have evolved around hard work which has allowed us to live the life we have. Now is when life really begins.
