I am 65. I have been an on again off again member of AARP since I turned 50.
In an AARP publication I find a short article "How can I find more joy in my life." That is one of my main goal.
1. "Get in touch with your spiritual side."
the article talks about truth and beauty of the world. I also pull heavily form God. I want Spiritual Joy. This is a gift of the Spirit and it is much deeper than what the world defines. If times are tough I will do fine until I loss that Joy. If I do I know exactly where to go to get it back.
2. "Savor the moment."
We live right now. The past is over and cannot be changed. It is a shame to have the past overtake now. The future will come but now is where you are.
3. "Say thanks."
You can call it living with and attitude of gratefulness. There is so much to whine about. The whole world seems to be ranting right now. It wears me out and sends me in endless circles of stress. Let go and say thanks often.
4. " Laugh and play like a kid."
That is the true secret of staying young. I am a serious person, but laughing and playing is the spice and I can not life without spice.
