Being happy is necessary as you continue your journey into the fabulous fifties. Find your happiness and enjoy the moments, people, hobbies, and other things that make you feel complete, happy, satisfied and bring an unmeasurable amount of joy into your world. As you continue on your journey into the fabulous fifties, make new friends, participate in activities and hobbies that bring you the greatest joy.

You will learn that certain music, activities, people and even food that you have never experienced before can bring you complete happiness. Embrace your new experiences and enjoy the people and things that make you feel good about yourself and your journey living life fabulous. Identify and define your own happiness (Culbreth, 2014).

Take some time and listen to the Staples Singers’ Heavy Makes You Happy (Sha Na Boom Boom). For some reason it jump starts me – gets me up, gets me dancing, and oh so -HAPPY! “It’s more than just a feeling – it’s a philosophy!”
