A fe...My mother, 87 as of last week, is Grace-like. A few years back, when complimented about how good she looked just days after open-heart surgery, she responded: "Of course I look good - I got up, got dressed, combed my hair and put make-up on." And that's how she rolls. As a retired nurse - one who spent years in geriatrics and hospice - she maintains that having a positive attitude is a decision we make and that decision dictates the quality of our lives.Love that woman!Shel Harringtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10493140059859176864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600200775908519566.post-50538034916032365772013-03-18T19:17:49.744-05:002013-03-18T19:17:49.744-05:00Although I suspect I'm pretty near Gracie'...Although I suspect I'm pretty near Gracie's age, I also have a Gracie in my life. I don't know exactly how old my friend Rose is--she won't tell and I don't ask--but the fact she has a fifty-something son gives me a pretty good idea. She is amazing. SHE talked ME into joining a pilates class and I struggle to keep up with her. She also gives me a good run for my money on the tennis court, and she is my go-to fashion advisor, as she keeps up with all the latest styles. <br />I laughed when I saw Gracie's comment about maintenance. Not long ago I announced to some friends that my beauty routine had downgraded to upkeep.<br />Very enjoyable and inspiring post, Lisa!Dee Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05075414876444998775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600200775908519566.post-71424999197642400042013-03-18T19:01:40.781-05:002013-03-18T19:01:40.781-05:00When I go for my personal maintenance appointments...When I go for my personal maintenance appointments, I think of a gift my friend cross-stitched for a special birthday years ago. The wall plaque says,"After 40,it's patch,patch,patch." I smile whenever I see it on my office wall. Many cars today can easily pass the 100,000 miles test. I'd like to think with attention to our own health, many of us could achieve the human equivalent in added years, not miles.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11290986084014281907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600200775908519566.post-32688758975713536572013-03-18T17:57:07.293-05:002013-03-18T17:57:07.293-05:00You are very lucky to have many "Gracies"...You are very lucky to have many "Gracies"!

I am lucky to have many "Gracies" in my life, but one of them definitely would be my ex-stepmother Rosemary, who has been a dear friend for so many years now. She is always striving to learn and do new things. In fact, now that her son is married, she is determined to move to a new town and start a whole new life. I find that so exciting! Can't wait to visit her. :) Sonia Genslerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13948726225833519583noreply@blogger.com
