  Something I observed, all these people seem to enjoy life and have a cheerful disposition.

  My mom just turned 94 and is sharp as a tack! Go Mom!

  One thing they all possess is a positive mental attitude. Did not hear 1 person complaining about being older. They are enjoying and embracing life at every stage! 😊

  My neighbor is 92 and keeps her home nice and mows her lawn on her riding lawn mower.  Her son comes by for lunch a few times a week.  Her Mom died at 96.  Active in her church and visits covid19 ill friends.  She is an inspiration to me.

  I had a friend who lived until 113.   He was sharp as could be.  Fluent in 4 languages.   He taught himself how to use a computer and email.  I showed him a tiny video on my iPod and without missing a beat, he identified Michal Jackson.    He had a PhD in Chemistry.   He survived the Nazis and being imprisoned for years  in a Russian gulag.   One time, I asked him a question about his experience of the World War and his answer was "which one ?"

  My sister’s neighbor lived to 102.  She lived in her own home without help and was sharp as a tack.  She didn’t give up driving until about 98.  Then, one morning. She said she wasn’t feeling well and and decided to take a nap and then passed away.  We should all be so fortunate.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ACBDPI32Dg&amp;t=217">3:37</a> I&apos;m blown away by how good Lou looks at 100... I&apos;m sure he has a healthy lifestyle but his genetics are something else.

  If always remembering today&apos;s date is the criteria for dementia, I&apos;m done, LOL!

  I don&apos;t agree with the statement that half the kids today will live to a 100 years. A large majority eat processed foods as their primary food source, drink a lot of sugar and don&apos;t exercise. This is not the recipe for a long life.

  My mother is 93 years old and is still independent. She lives alone, still drives, her mind is good and she is active. &nbsp;Not active with conventional exercise but busy with errands, goes up and down stairs everyday, etc. &nbsp;She is also still very interested and engaged in politics is an avid reader and does puzzles (Sudoku) and other games daily. &nbsp;She is an inspiration to me.

  Imagine being born in WW1, fighting in WW2, and being alive to use Siri on an IPhone during a worldwide pandemic 100 years later. Absolutely crazy! Very inspiring 😊
