“Psychology Today defines mindfulness as “a state of active, open attention on the present.” The publication goes on to state that, “you observe your
thoughts and feelings from a distance, without judging them good or bad.” Additionally, “mindfulness means living in the moment and awakening to
experience,” as opposed to letting life pass you by.

the weak and wrong. Sometime in your life you will have been
all of these.26

Secret to aging with grace and joy
▣ Studies show that many people are happier as they age – fewer options can increase happiness.
▣ Part of the passion of youth is looking for intensity and new experiences;
▣ Many older people report how they celebrate aliveness in ordinary things and simple rituals.
▣ Cultivate relationships that have meaning for you.
