Spiritual aging is the skill of enjoying life by shifting attention from the outer world to your world within. It involves paying attention to your deepest thoughts and feelings and learning to accept life the way it is. Despite the arrival of aches and pains and the diminution of memory and mobility you can experience more satisfaction by building soul strength and learning to make the transition from elderly to “Wellderly.”
