Dear yoyoers,
While getting older is sometimes viewed as a negative event, it’s actually a wonderful and beautiful thing. Being a senior citizen isn’t something you need to avoid or defy at all costs. It is possible to age gracefully and embrace the beauty of getting older!
Please read the following article.
