I read the 144 page, large print version of former President Jimmy Carter’s 1988 book on “The Virtues of Aging” today. It is distributed by Random House and we received our copy from the Seward Memorial Library. It was a good decision for me to seek some guidance from the past-president since I was never a strong supporter of his. The book contains useful guidance and encourages a balanced life of Faith, Nutrition, Exercise, Social Interaction, etc. It also stresses the value and virtue of people doing volunteer work in retirement years. He is a strong supporter of Habitat for Humanity. We here in Seward have an outstanding record in the use of volunteers. We are also active with Habitat for Humanity and have utilized it for helping with remodeling or cleaning up a "junky" place. Carters concluding nuggett is “You are old when regrets take the place of Dreams.”
