That's fighting spirit--I wish you could bottle it, I would buy a gallon or two smile

Today I was walking home from my regular Keep Fit Class and saw one of our members, who had been at the class, walking her dog. As she is 92 I complimented her on her efforts to keep fit and said she was an example to us all.

'Oh' she said 'I am having a quieter day I usually manage a swim after Keep Fit'.

She said how pleased she was that she had just been given another 3 years to drive her car.

As I left her she reminded me to be grateful for good health.

I realise not everyone is as lucky with their health as she is, but I really believe her attitude to life has a great deal to do with her longevity.
