The intent of my book, "The Art of Joyful Aging," is to focus attention on the advantages of aging. All of us experience aging yet the positive aspects have been all but ignored. I have taken positive quotes on the subject of aging and accompanied each with one of my paintings for illustration.
The quotes have been taken from family and friends, from the young, the old and the famous. I suggest reading one a day in order to maintain a youthful outlook on life.

Here are some quotes from selected reviews:

"...thank you for the donation of the book, "The Art of Joyful Aging" by Joanne Turney Bauers. What a beautiful book to have in our collection! Middleton Library appreciates your generosity.
