Being happy at sixty-five means knowing where to put your focus on. Despite the health challenges seniors typically face at this age, there are plenty of other things that are guaranteed to bring a smile to their faces. When you’ve been blessed to experience life for as long as you have, it doesn’t take a lot of effort to figure out what makes you happy. It’s usually the simple things that bring the greatest joy to your lives.
- Your Family
Your kids, grandkids, and pets can make your day brighter despite everything you are gong through. Having loved ones around also helps you fight feelings of loneliness and isolation which can occur quite frequently as you age and deal with its complications. Knowing that there are people who love and support you unconditionally gives you a feeling of contentment and happiness unlike any other.
- Your Perspective
It’s always important to develop a positive view towards life. Always look at the bright side because it will surely help you live longer and happier. The way you look at the world influences your life in a lot of ways. You may choose to look at an illness as a curse, and be angry about it, or, you can instead look at the good things you’ve been given – a family to love and support you; more years than you could ever have imagined living on this earth; and a life without any regrets.
- Your accomplishments
You have much to be thankful for! Your experiences in life will fill your heart with so much joy, that no amount of sadness will ever be able to overcome. There are times when you ask yourself, “What have I done in my life?” Well for one, you’ve reached the 65-year milestone and that is certainly a huge accomplishment on its own. You’ve brought and raised good kids into the world who brought the most amazing grandkids you could ever ask for. You’ve made a life for yourself and your family. Those are already wonderful accomplishments and there’s always room for more!
