How to Not Fall Down ...life lessons on aging By: Susan A. Hamann, RN Life: As the saying goes, "Man plans, God laughs." You walk into a party thinking you look pretty cool, only to have someone point out the back of your dress is tucked into your underwear.... You move to a new city and by accident land in a neighborhood of the best neighbors you could ever want.... Your cat dies.... You find your favorite earrings, lost a year ago, under the dresser (has it really been that long since you cleaned???). You find a lump—the biopsy is negative. Yes, life—the good, the bad, the funny, the sad. Some days, even with the best intentions, we still fall down. These short essays are about just those things, taken from Susan Hamann’s life and yours, that remind us what it means to fall down but keep on trying. It's about the learning to get back up, brush off the dust, and try again.
