Gracious: polite, kind, pleasant, elegant in a way associated with the upper classes or wealth, showing God's grace.
Graceless: lacking grace, elegance or charm.
Thank you to the Oxford English Dictionary for this bit of wisdom.
Two things here....The OED has a web site all about dictionaries; the when and who www.oed.com and it is surprisingly interestingly good reading. The other is that my dictionary was a freebie from The Folio Society www.foliosociety.com. The Folio Society is my second great love , after dishes, but I may have to give it up as it is not a cheap hobby!
I'm hoping that the graceless world is a product of fear mongers and movie producers and that I'm proven wrong on my "aging journey". In the end, I may have grown old gracefully in a grace-filled world.
