When I asked my nearly 106-year-old grandma what her secret to longevity is, she had one word: "Exercise." She has engaged in that activity nearly every day of her life...and still does. Weeks at her home in the summer as kids were not vacation...they were Boot Camp, with requisite 10-mile bike rides before breakfast and swims before lunch! She will soon set foot into her 107th year of life, and she actually seems to be improving! She is amazing! And optimistic, too. She took 21 of us on a cruise this past summer, and on the last day, she assauged my down-trodden mood because the cruise had ended by saying, "Don't worry. We'll do this again in a few years."
