Tonight, my hostess's 88 year old mother and I were talking. She told me to try to never get old. She was an amazing woman who has been married for over 65 years, and is still going. She loves her husband and her family and is the most delightful woman.
Her words resonated with me. They remind me of what my own grandmother says. Old is a state of mind. In her seventies, my grandma refuses to be an old lady. Is age really just a state of mind? That would certainly explain marathon runners in their seventies, but what about people who can barely get off of their couch in their twenties? Are you old when you decide you are old? I think this might be the answer.
At any rate, I think that they key to not being old is to not worry so much about age, and start living life. Every moment is precious, and not to be squandered.
this made me cry...she sounds like she's living a good life...so glad you met her!!
