100 Years old…..and still going strong!

Hi LBB’ers,

Cecily Gaunson turned 100 years old on New Years day. She calls numbers 3 times a week in a bingo hall in New South Wales, and loves to entertain the crowd with jokes in between calls.

She attributes her longevity to the fact that she never smoked and staying active is the key. Her advice, "Just keep active and keep doing whatever you do. Don't sit home and mope," she said.

Some words of wisdom from someone who has beat the odds.

I have the highest respect for the elders in my family, community and around the world, they are the most knowlegeable, the wisest, courageous and most valuable, i love listening to their stories they tell, they endured and persevered so much in the world.

My most highest regards and best of all wishes to her.

They are wise souls and could certainly teach us a lot about life!

I like the "Don't sit home and mope!"  great words to live by.  :)
