I was listening to CISN on Friday on my way home from work and they had a women on, her name was Madea, she was turning 100 years old on Friday April 13th. She was such an interesting woman, listening to her on the radio she did not sound a day over 60 and you could tell she was the type of person who always had a smile on her face. Anyway, because she is so old, people ask her all the time what her secret is to living a long healthy life. She said that when she first was married in 1928, she moved into a small house on a farm with her husband. When they were moving in she was trying to tidy the basement but every time she tried to sweep the basement floor, more cement would crumble and there would be more and more mess to clean up. Frustrated she went up stairs to complain to her mother. Her mother looked her in the eyes and said 'make the best of it'. Maeda said that since 1928 she has always tried to 'make the best' of every situation and has always put her faith in God... that is her secret.
So whatever challenges are in your life right now I hope you can 'make the best of it'.
Maeda, if you ever come across this sight, Happy Birthday and thank you.
Hey Jessica. Thanks for the words. I needed this today!
ReplyDeleteAbout the closet post. You could make some extra cash by becoming a personal organizer. I could give you lots of business with ALL my closets and my office.
ReplyDeletethank you again for an inspirational blog. Making the best of it I am sure comes from Grandma G. too. She definitely did that. Love you and have a great day.
ReplyDeleteI think the old lady's secret was that she can't remember anything any more and so everything seems wonderful!
