With 101 years the goal, a how-to -micro-story for "growing younger."

 

Fifteen Summers Left

 

And what is fifteen?
Three prints of one''s hand in the sand
Just a youthful day at the beach
Forever replanting impressions
Knowing a tide coming in
Will eventually tide out

 

‘Til then…

 

Innocence kept alive

Allows more to arrive

 

Yes…

 

Existence is sublime

That is a mighty goal. Since you don't have knowledge of your parents. You have to rely on the parameters you have now and what it will take to make that lofty goal. I gather from your diet and lifestyle, as stress-free as you can make it, along with great attitude and occasional beach walk exercise, you will reach it.

I have those genes in one side of my family, two generations removed. I have no such lofty goals, preferring to go before I have to undergo the pain of old age. In the meantime, I will try to keep up with you, year-by-year as we move along in this wonderful place where we can express almost anything for the reader to read.

An interesting posit. If the numbers are accurate, it would make you 86. If that's you in the pic, you still look in good shape. That, of course, is a great blessing. Thanks for sharing this. Maybe it's time to change your bio pic. Just a thought. Continued imagination. r
