How to Age Gracefully

BE GENEROUS

"Practice giving, and people will give to you." (Luke 6:38) Make it a practice to share some of your time and resources with  others. This will give you a feeling of accomplishment and happiness. Hosa, 85, in Brazil, makes a point to help others despite her physical limitations . She says: "I call friends who are sick or discouraged and write letters to them. Sometimes I send them little gifts. I also like to cook a meal or make a dessert for sick ones."

Generosity begets generosity.  "When you show love to others, the respond  by giving you their love and affection," says Jan, 66, in Sweden. Yes, a generous person creates an atmosphere of warmth and appreciation that others find enjoyable.
