Dot’s on to something!

Water aerobics, three times a week! That is the response I got from a spunky and fabulous woman named Dot who was celebrating her 81st birthday by having lunch at Red Robin with her family. I was her server. Dot looked at LEAST 15 to 20 years younger than her true age, so I just HAD to ask her what her secret was to living so vivaciously!

Above and beyond water aerobics, she said eating healthy (Red Robin, and restaurants in general, are reserved for special occasions only), keeping your mind focused on the good things in life, and NOT taking pills.

I think Dot’s on to something. 81 and vibrant. The woman’s experience speaks for itself! Now, to find a water aerobics class…

And in other news, I’ve added a new page called Quotes. There you can find all of my favorite words of wisdom and intrigue! After having all of my Facebook notes randomly deleted on Friday (including my much-loved “Quote Note”), I’ve decided to rebuild the collection on my own site. It just makes sense. Enjoy!!!
