Acknowledgements

It has been a privilege to be able to document what I have learnt from my long career and what I hope for the future, both as an older person and as an occupational therapist.

Sincere thanks to my husband, family and friends for seeing me through yet another period of intense writing.

Finally, I am indebted to my colleague Claire Craig. Her creativity, intellect and enthusiasm have underpinned much of what I have been able to put into words.
