Silverplanet Refreshing in Its Approach to Aging

Silver Planet, at www.silverplanet.com, is a site I've lately become aware of. It's not a caregiver's site, but a boomer's site. However, there are caregiver and senior tips that will be of interest of those of us with aging parents, and many of us are aging ourselves, as we may notice by a quick look in the mirror. 

The site is so visually exciting and positive, that when I checked it out, I immediately signed up. I see many benefits for several generations on this site which, by its very name, acknowledges the aging of our population, but without negativity and without trying to cop an attitude of being the new "My Space" of the older generation. I feel respect for readers vibrating from the pages. If you are interested, give www.silverplanet.com a look to see if it suits your needs, and/or those of your parents.

Thanks for the heads up about Silver Planet (www.silverplanet.com). I especially like that they honor amazing seniors doing amazing things. You can nominate a senior you know who you want others to know about. Current Silver Stars include a 100 year old working journalist in Nebraska, a former Supreme Court Justice from Washington who now competes and wins in world weightlifting competitions; and a man who walked the Marco Polo 13,000 mile trail!
