On your journey to one hundred, I say, Try laughing, learning, and loving each day. You’ll meet many travelers along the way. Share memories with others, take time to pray. Enjoy a sunset, eat a piece of pie. Take in life’s beauty and quit asking why. Take a long walk as often as you can. Talk with a loved one, walking hand in hand. Thank your Creator for all you’ve received, For the comfort in times when you grieved. Open your heart letting love flow right through. Happy you’ll be in whatever you do.

Very beautiful...sage advice. Perfect write! As my dad, often repeated -- the first 100 years are the roughest. After that, a peace of cake. Great writing, Bill!

It inspires the reader to value every second and everyone they meet along the way. My best wishes for a happy and healthy life for you and lovely Sara

good advice and fabulous prescription for good physical and mental health so one can increase the likelihood of being 100. We can do this, Bill! :-)
