The tragedy of old age is not that one is old, but that one is young. OSCAR WILDE, The Picture of Dorian Gray Speaking of being young at heart, this week I met with such a woman from Northside OWN (Older Women's Network); a volunteer organisation that promotes the rights, dignity and well being of older women. There are 18 OWN groups and 6 Wellness Centres in NSW offering discussion groups, workshops, and recreational and cultural activities, such as Mums on Drums...  North side OWN is at the Dougherty Centre in Chatswood. Third Age University is also housed there, offering a variety of courses to the retired and semi-retired.
With so much on offer, the tragedy of old age is not in the passage of time, but in the running out of it! Comments are closed.
