"One key to my resilience as I’ve aged: “the gratitude attitude”.
Every day I consciously savor the pleasures of my life, both
large and small — a good meal, a relaxing walk, a fun
conversation, a small success. I’ve even learned to be grateful
for myself, with all my strengths & quirks. Thanks to the
gratitude attitude, I am happier & more self-confident
than when I was younger. The other key: purpose. Writing
became my retirement purpose. All my writing success has
come after age 65. What works for me: setting goals, chipping
away at them, & following a daily writing routine.
Yes, I am a creature of habit!"
