How difficult is it to live as a Senior?   How practical is it to discover a day to day formula that allows for an overall healthy frame of mind, spirit and body? 

It depends on your attitude.

Here are the components that make up attitude:

• A strong sense of humor.  Laugh.  Laugh often.  Laugh a lot.
• An ability to smile.  Allow your face to demonstrate that you are a happy person.
• An ability to listen.  When someone wants to engage you, give them a chance.  Don’t cut them off.  But don’t allow them to dominate to the point of boredom.
  

• Approach persons positively.  Let them know you enjoy their presence.
• Stay focused on the person you are with.  Don’t allow yourself to be distracted.
• Shift topics, so that the two of you discover a variety of subjects you can enjoy.
• Point out the strong points of other people.  They will feel better about themselves, and you will be the reason.
• Keep your posture, your body language such that it communicates strength, pleasantness, and a good attitude.
• Don’t go negative about health, weather, state of affairs, etc.   Doing so will ruin the goal of the day:  Keep a good attitude.

There you are.  Remember living happily as a senior depends on your attitude.
