It is in people I admire I find inspiration on how I choose to live my life. This is my grandmother, she will be 96 years old this month. She lives independantly in her own condo, and hasa zest for life that is unparalled. She is almost seventy years older than me and her comitment ot life and to health is truly an inspiration. She walks 2 kilomerts a day, rain or shine, even in the snow. She lives in Ottawa, so when I say snow I mean SNOW, yet that does not prevent her from getting out there and doing what she loves. She has been walking for as long as I can remeber.

It is amazing to see the impact healthy life choices have throughout life can result in a reawrding long and functional life. Granted there is a genetic component, most of my relatives live to be a 100.  Regardless her tenacity in maintaing her physical, intellectual nad spirltal self is an ispiration. If she can find it within herself after all that she has seen and been through in her life. Then who I am not to give it all i’ve got.
