Do I live in a spectacularly generous Universe or what?!?!?!
My gosh! I set out to embrace my inner elder care anarchist, poised to join in the forces determined to overthrow our culture's woeful view of growing old. What do I discover?
That I live in one - perhaps THE - of best places on our planet to do just that!
First, I discover the University of Pennsylvania's Positive Psych Center. And that the jaw-dropping Martin Seligman heads it up.
Oh, wait... And U of P's Psych Center is home to The Duckworth Lab, run by - ta da! - the astonishing MacArthur grant fellow, Ted Talker Angela Lee Duckworth!
Reb Zalman did some of his most ground-breaking work in Philadelphia.
That great man is no longer with us (at least physically), but Rabbi Dayle Friedman is, "guiding individuals, professionals & communities on the journey of aging."
Over the past month, every day seems to uncover another reason why I live in an incredible place to be part of the forces committed to helping every person of every age - including, especially olders & the elderly - see shine share their inner light!
