Her positive attitude was amazing.
She had so many traits that are very difficult for most folks to emulate:
—No agenda. She had nothing to prove to anybody.
—Not really materialistic. She lived well and had nice things but those things didn’t own her, were not that important to her and she never bragged about it or held it against people who were less fortunate.
—A true independent thinker—never believed anything the “experts” said about anything. She did her own research and took her time drawing conclusions.
—Truly pleasant to be around—lightened up anyone’s day.
She had a way of being comfortable in her own skin that very few people could match.
It is a skill they don’t teach you anywhere—you have to learn it yourself.
She sounded cool.
My mom who lived to 102 — died only after breaking her hip — was very much like that and your description could have been about her just as well.
