Settling In is a collection of meditations that came out of the journals of Richard Morgan when, at age 74, he moved to a retirement community in Pennsylvania. Reflecting on his experience, the author identified three major stages in his spiritual journey:

- Initial excitement and euphoria;

- Second thoughts and regrets;

- Discerning his life in the community.

These meditations will be helpful for those who are considering entering a continuing care/retirement community and for the adult children and care givers of persons facing such a decision. The author's generous sharing of his own experience will help prepare those considering a life transition and also help their loved ones to understand the struggles older adults go through as they seek to make a place their home.
