Inspirational. Good Reminders.
So far so good for me. Most of my friends didn’t make it pass 50. My family have life span of 93-106. lived at their homes . Until THEY ask to go to a home to make friends I thought that was so funny. My 100 year old grandfather had girlfriends. I said OMG! LOL! Stranger yet he like weed and wine I could not stop laughing at him. He was so cool!
You should add what I call “the happiness quotient” to the list. First of all, recognize that happiness is an inside job. This quotient should be maintained at as high a level as possible. An orchid blooming at the window, always keeping a book going, a junket with a friend every now and then for lunch, visiting (and donating to) thrift stores. Maybe you should get a small dog, or a cat!
