Having a reason to get up in the morning can make your life more meaningful, enjoyable — and even add years to that life. It’s one of the secrets for positive aging found just by Googling graceful aging tips. There’s even some research to prove it. Maybe your reason to bounce out of bed is an energizing hobby. Or the soul enrichment found in volunteering to help others. Or it could be the satisfaction of fulfilling work — like Dan the blacksmith, the seemingly ageless artisan in our latest episode. He can’t wait to get to his studio every morning, fire up the forge and have something beautiful and useful to show for it. As Dan says, “I don’t work any day. Because it’s not work, it’s fun.”
