Welcome to Volume 9 of “Seniors' Stories” displaying the thoughts, emotions, lifestyles, pleasures, disappointments, elation, sadness, and every emotion we have been willing to share of the exciting age group known in Australia as our Seniors. No longer are we invisible, we are an integral part of Society's woven cloth of generations. Many of the published seniors in our volumes are authors of their own published works but there are many more of our storytellers who have submitted their first ever story. This Volume covers the Life Lessons we seniors have learnt over the six to nine decades of life experience we have tucked under our belts. We are privileged to have done so, aches, greying hair, and everything else taken into account. We may be slowing down physically but our stories are evident of our brains being extremely sharp. We offer them to our fellow seniors who love to read. We share our life activities, and our wonderment as our senses show us nature, humanity, however embarrassing some may be, but the universal recognition that 'except for fate' that story could be mine, is the reason for the popularity of our large readership.
