words to live LONG by

May's issue of  Real Simple Magazine ran an article featuring 5 pretty amazing women.....they were all over 100 years old.

it was fun to see their pictures and read their stories.  i have always loved listening to "old people's" stories.

here are some Life Lessons from 5 centearians:

*never feel sorry for yourself.....*if you worry about being old, you will be old....*volunteering gets you away from your own worries....*your're better off alone than with bad company....*when playing Scrabble, don't use up your S's right away....*don't hold anger....*a person never gets too old to love....*you can't control other people, you can only control you reactions....*more is not necessarily better....*children love praise....*you'll always need your girlfriends....*a mother should respect her children, just as they should respect her....*don't expect perfection....

maybe grab the magazine in the grocery check-out line this week and read one of the stories, they're short and the it will make the line go faster. 

you'll be glad you did!
