The Joy of Aging

Fayette Senior Services (FSS) – Fayetteville location at The Life Enrichment Center, 4 Center Drive: Growing older is a natural, rewarding stage of life, one that brings wisdom, experience, and perspective. Many ancient and indigenous cultures honored elders for precisely these qualities, recognizing the value of a lifetime of learning. Yet modern media often sends us mixed messages, with phrases like “anti-aging,” “You look good for your age,” or “I’d never guess you were…” subtly devaluing the aging process. Avril James, Piedmont Women’s Heart Program Coordinator and certified health education specialist, reframes aging in a positive, empowering light. Explore how to age gracefully, addressing ageism, practicing mindfulness, and setting realistic expectations for your mind, heart, and body. Join us as we shift perspectives, celebrate the aging journey, and embrace the many rewards that come with growing older! This program is FREE but pre-registration is required.
