  Maybe I’m an anomaly … I find my happiness in solitude. It’s been difficult to be around people, finding friends nearly impossible, and divorce made me happier than being married ever did. At 68 I’ve found great satisfaction and contentment in my simple daily life. Always learning, finding and creating beauty. Not religious but feel a spiritual connection to something vast and unexplainable, even caring for all those people I don’t enjoy being around. That said, if True Love walked into my life, I’m wide open. But meanwhile I’m just fine!😊

  I’m a 64 year old man and I gave up my car 12 years ago. I moved into a reasonably sized apartment close to my part time job. Wake up every morning at 4 am, healthy breakfast, walk to the gym, 60 minute workout, walk to work, move and stand at work for 4 to 6 hours, walk home. 3 to 6 miles a day, 18000 to 20000 steps a day. Move, keep moving. Read everyday, write everyday, walk everyday, engage with young people. Health is wealth. Discipline and consistency are superpowers, integrity, competence and dependability are currency, focus is your fortress, be relentless! Every day.

  Sitting in my pj's doing a jigsaw listening to this show while it rains outside, heaven, eat and sleep when I want, retired and loving life. Gave up the rat race at 54 and do not miss a thing. I have everything I need, younger people need to understand that material things you buy will only clutter up your closets later on, those designer handbags won't bring joy later on. Me and my cat are going for a nap !!!!

  This older woman hasn't gotten happier. Happy isn't in my vocabulary. I use the word content. I am content. I am grateful.

  I noticed that I don't hear ads on your videos. I greatly appreciate that you don't play ads.

  My husband and I often talk about how grateful we are because we are musicians. Our musical activities are highly fulfilling for us and have enriched our lives tremendously. He is a jazz drummer and I am a professional solo cellist. We are also both connected to nature through our tree farm where we plant thousands of trees yearly. We are surrounded with wildlife at our house which is another special connection we value. We now have two small grandchildren and feel grateful that my husband lived long enough to meet them! I am 70 years old and my husband is 92. Life is good.

  I was happy and fulfilled, retired in Florida, until a double tragedy struck. &nbsp;I lost my mom and wife within three months, with both in nursing homes and hospice simultaneously. &nbsp;I lost everything but my dog. &nbsp;Now we&apos;re learnin to live alone as I approach 70.
