My great grandmother lived to be 105. When I was about 13 years old I asked her what her secret was and she said very plainly, "Well I guess I start each day with a bible verse and a grapefruit." Then asking if she had any wise advice she responded, "Don't ever buy an antique. When you're as old as me everything becomes an antique."
That is so awesome. Thank you for sharing!! Makes me want to go ask my 97 yr old grandmother about what she would do. she has told me in the past never to listen to my parents and follow my gut. haha! she is so spunky i love her!
This was beautiful. I've been one of those people who lives completely safely, and lately I'm realizing that someday I may regret that... I'm already starting to, actually. Thanks for this beautiful reminder to live life more fully. :)
It's a good one. I bought my mom and framed copy of this many years ago...it hangs in her house still. Always been a favorite.
