Grandchildren keep me young, pilates keeps me sane, having my own business has given me confidence. Friends and family are most important.

I love the feeling of not caring what anyone else thinks about me. This doesn't mean that I am not aware, but that how I dress or wear my hair, is my decision. I love the freedom of being able to just be ME. Being older doesn't bother me except for the aches and pains that come with aging. Life seems more important as I get older. I relish the ocean, the smell of grass, mountains, flowers, so much more so than when I was younger. There is a clarity to being older, if that makes sense.
How do you stay fabulous?Pilates is important to me for stress, strength and balance. I maintain important friendships and have a very loving family that supports me. I read a lot of books which helps me to reduce stress. My attitude is about gratitude. I don't worry about age because it is only a number.
What would you do with the $40,000?I would put most of it in savings but would take a fabulous trip somewhere. I would also help my daughter financially as she is a single mom of 3 children and definitely could use assistance.
