The Art 2 Aging

First, an introduction. We are Chris Henry and Dave Grein. We’ve been friends and colleagues for more than 30 years, sharing a passion for golf and dumb jokes. We are also well into our “senior” years, which gives us the perspective from which to begin tearing down a lot of myths and false beliefs about being old. And that’s why we have created The Art 2 Aging. The Art 2 Aging takes the view that individuals, 60 and older, can turn aging into a dance rather than feeling that it’s a burden; that aging can be celebrated rather than feared; and that those over 60 can look forward to many more years squeezing the juice out of life. But how do you do that when health issues begin to crop up, the joints ache with arthritis, ligaments get tighter and shorter and worries about the D-word start to demand attention in our minds? We get it; it can be tough. But not insurmountable! Our newsletter and our podcast series will feature plenty of people from different disciplines and walks of life, all speaking about growing old or being old. Yes, we’ll talk with cardiologists, naturopaths, integrative medicine practitioners and social policy experts. But then there are the individuals we’ve found already who are writing poetry and mystery novels in their mid 80s, or who are fitness instructors who run marathons at 81 or who began writing at the age of 78 and are making money doing so. These people are living proof that age is no barrier to doing or being anything. Unless we believe it is.
