First key be wealthy
Healthy, wealthy and wise...............
One of my grandmothers lived to be 106 and she had some similarities with the French lady.
She was athletic and her favorite hobby was dancing.
She married young to a man who later became reasonably wealthy.
She never worked—had a live in maid/cook take care of her home.
Most folks thought she was dumb because nothing ever seemed to bother her—she always had a positive attitude and a smile on her face.
In fact she was highly intelligent—but never let the fools or jerks get her down.
I talk about her often—her one piece of advice to me was “never believe anything you see on TV”.
She thought mass media were evil liars and she just ignored them.
