This book is an invitation to explore the mastery of enjoying and appreciating the life you have right now. It is written from the viewpoint that aging is a process of living and not declining. The Art of Growing Older Gratefully offers a lifeline of straight to the point stories illustrating that one's life circumstances both past and present do not have to dictate one's joy for living. If your joy for living is buried beneath your circumstances, there is hope in chapters addressing issues of concern with accompanying Self-Help Exercises and BE ATTITUDES that can be used to purposely create health, happiness and gratitude.
