If I live to be 103 years of age I’ll have reached the same age as my maternal aunt, Helen. She is a remarkable woman, living in her own apartment with Callie, her dog. Her daughter and granddaughter live nearby and check on her every day.
??????????
When I visited with her the end of July, she told me that she has chores she’s assigned herself. She makes her own bed every day and washes up her dishes. She also fixes something simple for breakfast and fancies up her daily delivery from Meals On Wheels.
????????????????????No longer driving due, in part, to failing eyesight, she still knits T-shirts for a Church project, listens to the news, and keeps up with reading Reader’s Digest Condensed Books along with correspondence from family and friends. Her apartment is up a flight of stairs and she managed to go up and down them as well, if not better than I did.

I’ve always thought I wanted to live to be 103 and if that happens, I want to be like my aunt!
If you were to live to be 100 (or 103) would that be a good thing or not?
What would be the best part of living that long?
