This is a beautiful article, and made me smile. I was greatly inspired by the subjects’ attitudes. However it seems this tiny sample of people are happy in spite of their old age, and not necessarily because of it. What I got from the piece was: if you want to be happy, have a caring circle of friends, family who visit you once a week, a supportive lover, and impactful projects your are passionate about. These folks live quite excellent lives (health issues notwithstanding) compared to anyone of any age. Age has certainly given them more perspective, but I think it’s secondary here.
