BETTY WHITE

VITALITY

You carry something invaluable with you: an appetite for life.

You know that growing older and growing old are not the same thing. There are still people to meet, places to see, ridiculous things to laugh about and perfectly good reasons to stay out later than you planned.

People are comfortable around you because you bring warmth with you. You understand that humor can get you through difficult moments, kindness opens doors, and staying interested in the world keeps life from becoming predictable.

You aren’t trying to be younger. You’re interested in being completely alive at exactly the age you are.

And you have a wonderful suspicion that some of your very best stories haven’t happened yet.
