Longevity

The oldest person in the world is a woman in Japan who turned 117 last week. That's a lot of candle power! Her secret seems simple - eat sushi and get a good night's sleep. Of course, she has been widowed for 85 of those years which means she didn't have a husband to make demands on her which that alone should have reduced her stress level. It somewhat reminded me of my mother's friend of long ago who proclaimed to all within earshot "And I still have all my organs!"(Yikes!) I don't think I want to match this Guinness record and outlive my money and besides, I really don't care for sushi.
