Like it or not, getting older is a part of life. While aging gracefully is definitely the goal, it’s not always the reality. If you’ve ever gotten out of bed and heard your joints create their own symphony or walked into a room and been unable to recall why you entered, you know that maturing isn’t for the faint of heart.
