Two long-time, seventy-something writing partners share how they and other aging boomers can navigate this new stage of their lives with optimism, energy, humor, honesty, and empathy.

It's a gift to reach old age and to arrive there well and ready for more years. The two authors of Not Dead Yet find that it's time now to tidy-up their lives—to live fully in the moment with less clutter, better planning, and to free themselves to travel more, read, work, volunteer, and enjoy grown children and grandchildren. These later years bring challenges but also the advantage of wisdom about their minds and bodies.

Not Dead Yet is the one book that brings home all the challenges in witty, meaty chapters that provide realistic solutions through the experiences of its two female septuagenarian authors, as well as through those of other boomer women and men of varying incomes, religions, ethnicities, and locations.From sex and dating to travel and volunteer work, writers Barbara Ballinger and Margaret Crane, who faced becoming single in their last book, Suddenly Single After 50, now cope with the older decades by employing the same humor, honest storytelling, empathy, and energy. Their conclusions reflect a firm resolve that there is much life yet to be lived. Giving hope, guidance, and optimism to readers, they provide affirmation for anyone hoping to clear the hurdles and live life fully, presently, and with an eye toward fulfillment and wellness.

      When coauthors, friends, and bloggers Ballinger and Crane reached their seventies, they came to grips with having limited time left and asked how they wanted to live the rest of their lives. They began to collect stories from friends and acquaintances. How do some people stay involved and vital in their late years? What challenges do we all face? According to them, having a positive attitude, living in the moment, and being willing to adapt seem to be the keys. Ballinger and Crane take on a range of topics, including living alone after long marriages (a common situation for their age group), friendship (keeping in touch with old friends and adding new ones), looking for love (through fix ups and online dating sites), and repairing old relationships with both family and friends. They talk about setting boundaries with family, staying connected, following passions, and planning for downsizing. The authors' tone is no-nonsense and upbeat, and their advice is loaded with practical tips. There are many baby boomers out there facing similar decisions who will benefit from their guidelines.
