Thank you for discussing the important and always interesting subject of happiness. Your post ignited my interest in subjective well being across different developmental stages. I look forward to reading more of your thoughts and findings about happiness as it relates to aging – particularly with people 80+ years young.

A very interesting article – thank you!
It reminds me of a thought I had recently about happiness: the main barriers to happiness seem to be wanting things we cannot get, and getting things we do not want. I have developed this idea further at http://bit.ly/6vX24 for any readers who may be interested…

I would like to respond to your very interesting and informative article from a personal point of view. From the point of view of a woman who has reached 67 years of age and is young at heart and happy and at peace in spirit.

I have learned that there is a natural ebb and flow to our lives just as there is in nature. When I live in harmony with that flow and do not resist it, each season of my life has it’s own beauty and wonder. Yes, the body slows down and is in decline but at the same time, the spirit soars and the mind is peaceful and serene. Today I love the life I have and I appreciate it in ways I never could in my youth.

We have a choice in the attitude we have and that determines our perspective at whatever age we are at. If the attitude is positive and open, then life at any age can be filled with awe and wonder. Prayer, meditation and deep, honest self inquiry every day allows me to see beauty and goodness and to experience joy and gratitude, no matter what my age
