It's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years. Abraham Lincoln

Congratulations dear, you're 60 years young! Take the plunge and realise some of those lifelong dreams. You now have the experience and wisdom to accomplish anything you set your mind to. Whether it's getting that tattoo you've always wanted, learning to line dance, or writing poetry, it's time to live life outside the comfort zone. You might surprise yourself.

This book will help you think positively, with things like this to look forward to:

  • Organise a disco-dancing session with your most energetic buddies
  • Take up golf - or even archery or pole-vaulting
  • Dig out that old guitar and form a musical group
  • Treat yourself to a Caribbean cruise at Christmas instead of spending it with the family

Also available in the series:

Things to Do Now That You're a Dad, Things To Do Now That You're a Mum, Things to Do Now That You're a Grandparent, Things To Do Now That You're Retired, Things to Do Now That You're 40, Things to Do Now That You're 50 and Things to Do Now That You're 70
