“The longer I live, the more beautiful life becomes.” (Frank Lloyd Wright) Non-fiction pieces, personal essays and occasional poems that explore how we feel about how we age and offer tips for getting the most out of life.
Note from the editor
Crow’s Feet brings a wide variety of writers together to tell our stories of endurance and adaption as we grow older. It’s a place to speak out against ageism and to share advice about how to care for a parent or loved one who needs more advanced care. It’s a place to celebrate our age and to break stereotypes, to turn aging on its head.
At 68, I started a new chapter in my life: I moved to France. Alone. It turned out to be quite the page-turner. Still is — even when age insists on a part.
