How To Live To 100
October 20th 2008 12:00 am
I don’t want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve it through not dying.
Woody Allen
There’s a Jewish blessing “May you live to 120″. For a while I repeated it as part of my birthday wishes to people. But then one day I realized it was limiting- so now I say “May you live to 240″. My grandmothers aren’t sure if that’s a blessing or a curse.
This is the 100th post on this blog. Time flies. When I started it I didn’t know how far it would go and where it would go. Here we are 10 months later with many readers and a bunch of subscribers.
How did I get to 100 posts? Perseverance and trying to improve every day. I would imagine this lesson works in getting to 100 years of life also, keep getting better and living healthier. It also helps to have good genes and be a little lucky (don’t get hit by a bus).
Thank you all for reading. May you live to 120,000 posts!
PS I plan to stop at 119,999.

“I realized it was limiting”
my father says 120+ (for inflation)
“My grandmothers aren’t sure if that’s a blessing or a curse.”
my friend just told me today a sad story about a woman who died at 104. toward the end she got depressed because she thought god had forgotten about her and she would never die. in order to console her, those visiting her had to tell her that god hadn’t forgotten and she would definately die soon
“There’s a Jewish blessing “”
