Meaning of the quote
Growing old gracefully and happily is not easy. It takes a lot of work to do it well. Many people struggle with getting older, but the best way to handle it is to approach it with grace and joy. This means accepting the changes that come with age, and focusing on the positive aspects of growing older, rather than the negative. It's a special skill that not everyone is able to master, but it's an important one to strive for.
