I read an article today about a woman who will turn 107 on Friday; a holocaust survivor. I found her, and her thoughts on what assisted her to live well, and live long lovely.
“As for her own long life, Sommer partly puts this down to diet — she eats chicken stew most days, and doesn’t touch coffee, tea or alcohol — and to her strict piano-playing routine. But there is a more important factor”
“In a word: optimism. I look at the good. When you are relaxed, your body is always relaxed,” she told Haaretz. “When you are pessimistic, your body behaves in an unnatural way. It is up to us whether we look at the good or the bad. When you are nice to others, they are nice to you. When you give, you receive.”
This thread is devoted to living to be a centenarian, and living well.
BE YOU
