How Jan Started to Write "Active Senior Living"

From Jan:

You want a bit of background on the book? I began writing on my blog about life here shortly after I moved in and people were laughing at what I was writing. One of my kids said don't blog it, go for it in a book.. so kept on writing but as a book. Wrote about a full year here, my first year ,from the day I moved in until a year later with all the crazy people I met, some sad things , some very funny things, some touching things and some things that touched me. And some that did not touch me, like the men eager to tell me that either they had Viagra or didn't need it and mind you, these old goats were in their late 80s, to mid 90's.

It's not all funny cus I wrote about my battle with cancer that first year, too, the radiation and all and how supportive the people here were to me. Very loving, just as they are now when I am fighting cancer again.

I hope you will enjoy the book and that it will give you a smile. If your parent is considering going into a retirement home or you have a friend battling cancer or you just want to know what goes on behind the walls of one of these places.. then this is the book for you.
