Get @reshare_app • @mariashriver As anyone who has Get @reshare_app • @mariashriver As anyone who has battled grief, sadness, or despair knows, once you’re down, it’s a hard climb back up. Heartbreak befalls us all in different ways and at different times. When it does, we must stop and grieve. We must honor our pain. And then, when we can, we must find a way to crawl slowly back up. But we can’t do it alone. It’s impossible. We rise with the help of others through kindness, friendship, support, and grace. Life calls us all to rise. And in this new year, rising feels very much on the menu. #mariashriver #ivebeenthinking #heartbreak #grief #newyear #prayer

Get @reshare_app • @nbcnews On Dec. 13, Dick Van D Get @reshare_app • @nbcnews On Dec. 13, Dick Van Dyke, legendary actor of stage and screen, will turn 100 years old. But despite his centenarian status, Van Dyke has no intention of hanging up his hat just yet. In fact, he’s far from being done. “I always wanted to play ‘Scrooge,’” says Van Dyke of his unfinished business. “I could do it,” he laughs. “It’s just November. I’ve still got time.” With nearly a century and hundreds of acting credits under his belt, Van Dyke writes about what he hopes his legacy will be in his new book, “100 Rules for Living to 100: An Optimist’s Guide to a Happy Life.” “For as long as children are proudly belting out their new word, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, or singing and skipping along to ‘Chim Chim Cher-ee,’ the most important part of me will always be alive.” Read more at the link in bio. #dickvandyke #centenarian #actor #legacy #newbook #guidetoahappylife #memoir #lifeadvice #book #wordstoliveby #quote #fridayreads

Get @reshare_app • @nytimes #Japan has about 100,0 Get @reshare_app • @nytimes #Japan has about 100,000 people who have lived for a century or more — the most in the world and more per capita than in any other country. The frailty that comes with #age is creating challenges for Japan, where a record-low birthrate means ever more retirees and fewer working-age people to support them. But for some people, reaching 100 is just another milestone in a full life. We met five remarkable #centenarians who credited their #longevity to eating well, Japan’s affordable health care, exercise and family support. But for these five, there is also something else: their work. At the link in our bio, meet the centenarians and learn more about their secrets to longevity. Visuals by @nytchangster

Posted @withregram • @harveylewisultrarunner The o Posted @withregram • @harveylewisultrarunner The one and only Mike Fremont, 103.5 years young! Filling up with some priceless time with my friend, walking in the rain, vegan Mongolian stir-fry, wisdoms about life and good laughs. Mike is a treasure trove of life experiences and the power of the mind. He lost his first wife as a young man and raised their three children. He lived through the Great Depression and World War II and much more. Survived cancer at age 69, despite being given possibly 3 months to live. He’s been happily married to Marilyn over 30 years. He’s not impervious to the years of gravity but continues to be a great source of inspiration to me and many others. Gratitude for friendship. #centenarian #healthyagjng #vegan #stayingactive #cancersurvivor

Posted @withregram • @mariashriver As I return bac Posted @withregram • @mariashriver As I return back from my summer break, this clip from the great Mr. Rogers resonated in so many ways with me. I’m grateful for the time I had away — away from the noise, from the busyness, from the fast pace of everything happing in this world, from the need to know everything that is going on in the instant it occurs. I’m grateful, just like Mr. Rogers mentions, for the silence I was afforded in my time away. I wish we all could give that gift to each other more often, or even give that to ourselves. I’m also grateful for the time I had to reflect, and the time I had to wonder. I know as the world goes by, as the days get busier once again, I may not have as much time to sit in reflection, to wonder about the possibilities, but I will do my best to make time. I urge you all to find the time as well. To slow down, to not let the noise take over. Let’s keep rising above the noise, day by day! #abovethenoise #misterrogers #silence #wiserwithage
Posted @withregram • @washingtonpost Emma Maria Ma Posted @withregram • @washingtonpost Emma Maria Mazzenga likes to win. She once dislocated her shoulder during a race in Germany when she threw herself ahead of a competitor at the finish line. “The woman next to me was about to overtake me,” Mazzenga said, who ended up winning the race in 2012. She was 79. Now, at 92, scientists in Italy and the U.S. are studying Mazzenga’s muscles, nerves and even her mitochondria — the powerhouse of the cell — to better understand how she’s able to keep running into her 90s.

Repost @latimes Lee Calvert’s new bedroom glowed w Repost @latimes Lee Calvert’s new bedroom glowed with the dappled sunlight of a late-spring afternoon. Just outside her window, she could see hot-pink rhododendron flowers and the stately redwoods of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Despite the beauty, it was a view — and a life — she was still adjusting to. Calvert is 100 years old. She’d spent the last six decades in a little house in Pacific Palisades with an ocean view. She lived alone in Tahitian Terrace, a hillside mobile home park where, until January, she had occupied the same rented plot on Samoa Way since around 1967. “I loved everything about the Palisades,” Calvert said. Despite her family’s gentle pleas to join them here in Santa Cruz County as she got older, she would say: “I’m not leaving paradise.” Read more about how Calvert is rebuilding her life at the link in @latimes bio. 📷 Jason Armond @jason_armond #palisades #fire #palisadesfire #lifeadvice #adapt #wordstoliveby #tuesdaythoughts #wiserwithage
