Years ago, I read a blog, 70-something.com,
written by a woman in Boston who had an interesting life and wrote about
interesting topics. She wanted readers
to hear what it was like for a woman to go through her seventies, now her
eighties. I decided to start a similar
blog but from a man’s perspective.
Recently, the lady blogger wrote about the U
Curve of Happiness, a discovery based on happiness surveys that shows happiness
declines in the teen years and reaches a low around 50 years old, then trends
up until death, thus the name U Curve. I
had never heard of it and googled it to learn more. An article by Margit Cox Henderson, The Paradox
of Aging: the Happiness U-curve is one of the resources I found.
It seems the U Curve is universal, showing up
around the globe. But, it is based on
large populations and individual curves can vary depending on health, finances,
and relationships.
I looked at my age, 83, and the U Curve indicates
that I should be at the happiest point in my life and my happiness just might
continue to increase. Believe it or not,
I believe the U Curve got it right.
