My mother’s way to a long life…
-Have a passion that stirs you to get up and live.
-Sleep, my mother sleeps uninterrupted nine hours every night.
-Go outside as often as you can. My mother works in her garden, feeds her chickens, says her rosary in a sunny spot, and sits in the sun every day.
-Has faith, believes in goodness and puts her energy into the positive source of love.
-Adds humor and wit into her conversations.
-My mother is exceptionally generous in helping others.
-Plays cards as often as she can, even if it is solitary.
-And eats candy, has a giant candy stash, and an unbelievable sweet tooth. When I asked her what her secret to a long life was, she said with a giggle and yet sincerely,
“Eat candy as often as you can.”
My mother will have the smallest meal; rarely seconds, yet will eat candy throughout the day as if it the air she breaths.
It is a wonder she is human and not a red whip licorice.
