Book Synopsis
Inspiring lessons on growing older with grace and laughter, from a Zen teacher and writer who is ?like a Buddhist Anne Lamott? (New York Journal of Books)

Being a woman over sixty can sometimes be confusing, sometimes poignant, and sometimes hilarious. In this intimate and funny collection of essays, Zen Buddhist and writer Susan Moon maintains her sense of humor as she provides thoughtful insights on getting older.

In This Is Getting Old, Moon touches on both the ups and downs of aging: Her bones are weakening, but she still feels her inner tomboy. She finds herself both an orphan and a matriarch following the death of her mother. She admits to sometimes regretting pieces of her past and to being afraid of loneliness. These musings, written with Moon?s signature wit and grace, are a touching exploration and celebration of life, age, and our ?senior moments??plus a powerful reminder to be in the here and now.
