Welcome, my friend — if you're reading this, it means you're not only alive, but still winning the daily battle with your glasses and your memory. Growing older is inevitable — but growing bitter is optional. Smiling Through Wrinkles is a warm, humorous, and uplifting guide for seniors who want to live their later years with lightness, grace, and joy. Blending gentle wisdom with a touch of wit, this collection of 50 short life lessons offers simple, practical reminders on how to stay cheerful, let go of burdens, and rediscover the small pleasures that make life meaningful. Written in an effortless, conversational style, this book belongs to the self-help and positive ageing genre and is designed for readers who appreciate clarity, humour, and heartfelt insight. Each reflection is meant to be read slowly, absorbed gently, and applied throughout the day — turning ordinary moments into opportunities for peace and happiness. Smiling Through Wrinkles is not about reversing age, but embracing it beautifully — one smile, one breath, and one wrinkle at a time. Still free.
