Our paper chronicles today a woman who is 105. She looks good! They say she has a spark.
Here's some highlights:
She began playing the drums at 12.
A neighbor says of her:
She's an inspiration to me. I enjoy being in her company. I look forward to visiting her; we're both happy to see each other. She is a very popular woman. People don't forget her.
She says she doesn't have a formula for long life...no magic to it...other than being blessed to be happy in her home life, happy in her marriage and determined to find beauty of some sort in everyone.
I just worship the Lord, try to help add positive things to people's lives and try to find happiness in everyday life. Maurine Engel
Bless her! I want to be her when I grow up. "Determined to find beauty of some sort in everyone..." I hear her. She also says she enjoys being around young/er people.
