If you have visited this page looking for new posts, I apologize to you. I have been going through some of the very changes we have talked about here.
Illnesses and family deaths, care for those left behind, retirement from one kind of work, search for another that is meaningful enough to be worth precious time and effort--all have occupied my attention.
After much soul-searching and experimentation, guess what? I have come back to you and the world we share as women and men who are growing older and want to keep the quality of our lives high.
I have talked previously about surveys that help us identify the natural strengths we can deploy to increase our well being.
I am naturally curious and love to learn, for example. That has sent me to many places on the internet and in person, seeking knowledge I can profit from and offer to you, my readers. I am nourished as I nourish you, because the desire to connect people is also one of my strengths. Gratitude and zest are two more of the strengths that push me to share what has been gifted to me by others. I do believe in the motto, "Pass It On!"
Please give yourself a gift and go to Authentic Happiness, where you can contribute to the scientific understanding of well being simply by taking any of the surveys there. There's no cost to you, and you will immediately get your results. The VIA Signature Strengths survey is under Engagement Questionnaires. It looks long but doesn't actually take much time, and the results are well worth your having.
I have been studying the role of strengths in keeping us both long-lived and healthy. Even more, I have been applying this study to daily life with gratifying results.
