The 2022 American Community Survey estimated there were 55,892,014 people aged 65 and over in the U.S. out of a total population of 331,893,745, or 16.9%. More of us are living longer, and that's a good thing. Getting older is not for the faint-hearted, but it is a process that is inevitable.

Aging, however, also brings wisdom and humor, a finely-tuned perspective on life. In the Crow's Feet podcast, you’ll hear the voices of writers who will inspire you and often make you laugh about this journey through life.

“Older workers can be part of addressing our nation’s current challenge of talent pipeline shortages,” says Janine Vanderburg, a leader in the fight against ageism and founder of the “Age-friendly, Workplace Initiative”, which won a Metro Vision Award from the Denver Regional Council of Governments.

Vanderburg was a guest on the September 13, 2023, episode of the “Crow’s Feet: Life As We Age” podcast.

“There’s only one alternative to living past eighty,” says Alicia Litman who, like many in her generation, was a wife, mother, and divorcee before age 30. She overcame those obstacles to become a successful New York Times advertising salesperson and successful realtor, and is now recounting her life in song. She’ll discuss overcoming adversity and other observations from a life lived in New York in the March 13 “Crow’s Feet: Life As We Age" podcast, hosted by Melinda Blau.

On March 27, host Jan M. Flynn’s guest will be elder care manager, consultant, and author of the book “Tips for Helping Your Aging Parents—Without Losing Your Mind,” Kira Reginato. Kira and Jan will discuss the challenges of finding the right place for you or your loved ones, whether it’s a residential care or skilled nursing facility, and the benefits of planning ahead.

It's sad and ironic that President Abraham Lincoln had such a sage insight into aging, given that his life was cut short at 56. 

Lincoln said, "In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years."
