    About this ebook

    Age Ain't Nothin' But a Number!

    Popular humorist Karen O'Connor (over half a million books sold) shares inspiration and practical insight, drawing from her own experiences to help you glide through your golden years with grace, humor, and anticipation.

    Join Karen as she shares funny yet poignant personal anecdotes to encourage you to make new choices, accept new challenges, take new chances, and open new chapters in your life.

    Wit—"I never made a mistake in my life. I thought I did once, but I was wrong." - Charles M. Schulz

    Wisdom—We all stumble in many ways... (James 3:2)

    Willpower—I will count myself human and let go of my senior moments. After all, I am a senior!

    Above all, know that God is with you every step of your journey and can't wait to greet you in heaven someday. But today is not that day, so live your senior life to the fullest!

      Karen O'Connor is a popular humorist who has written over half a million books, WOW. As we get older we have a hard time facing the changes in our lives. Karen helps us prepare or relate, by sharing some of her funny and personal anecdotes. We can relate when she shares the story of her husbands confession, “I washed my pants with my wallet still in the back pocket.” Been there, done that. Or you forget where the cell phone is until you hear it tumbling in the dryer. Getting older is not for sissies. She encourages us to take new chances, accept new challenges and to not take our self too seriously. I feel this is a great book for someone who is senior or feels they are approaching that age bracket. This is only my opinion but I do not think a millennial, will understand and appreciate the humor. I received a copy of this book from Harvest House Publishers through NetGalleys. The Opinion expressed in this review is completely my own
