This wasn't what Allan Schwartz expected he would find in his late 60s, as he left middle age behind. Like many people, he expected the transition into older age to be difficult; instead it has been liberating, emotionally.

"I've noticed a distinct change from when I was younger," said Schwartz, 68, who resides in Port Charlotte, Fla., and Boulder, Colo. with his wife of 42 years. "Then, I was quicker to anger, more defensive, much more anxious. Now, I have a greater sense of inner peace. I don't feel the need to prove anything to anyone."

That is the unexpected “silver lining of aging,” she says. “When you live in the now, that’s good for your mental health and your emotional well-being. You see more clearly what’s important and invest in what’s important.”

I totally agree with this! Great article Gary.
