I'm 82 yrs old & feel like I'm still in my 30's. I still help my daughter at her stores and I'm her best salesperson.

I have more self confidence than when I was younger. I have learned from my earlier mistakes. Experience is a good teacher . I enjoy my silver hair that generates attention where ever I go. With age, I have become a freer person and I am more willing to do fun and unexpected things. I can laugh at myself and don't take Life seriously. I take Life a day at a time. Honestly, these are some of the best days of my Life. If you dream it; DO IT!
How do you stay fabulous?I won't be an 80+ old lady shuffling around in a house coat & slippers with strands of grey hair pulled back in a bun. I let my hair go silver white & wear it in flattering styles. I wake up each morning & put on make-up, comb my hair & put in pierced hoops even if I am going nowhere. I want to stay mentally sharp so I play word games. I keep up with World events. I learn the meaning of a new word each day. I smile at people. Someone stressed gets a kind word from me. My attitude makes me Fab.
What would you do with the $40,000?I would divide the money and give $10,000 to an animal shelter. I'd give $10,000 to St Jude's Hospital. Another $10,000 Tunnel to Towers and the last $10,000 to a local Women's crisis center.
