One of them, Ms. Hilda Jones, turned\u00a0107 years young on January 2, 2020! I met Ms. Hilda nine years ago when she resided at Tanner Terrace in Glendale, AZ. She came monthly to our farmers market to receive fresh fruits and vegetables. During my conversation with her on her birthday, she offered the following Pearls of Wisdom<\/span>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.0.11″ text_font_size=”16px”]

    \n
  1. Listen – you don’t know where your message will come from. Be open to receive.<\/li>\n
  2. Don’t be in a hurry to do anything. Slow down. Get your rest.<\/li>\n
  3. Be kind. Think about people’s feelings when you say things.<\/li>\n
  4. People remember how you make them feel.<\/li>\n
  5. Live a life of prayer.<\/li>\n
  6. Always think positive thoughts.<\/li>\n<\/ol>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.0.11″ text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”1.8em” custom_margin=”-15px||||false|false”]I am grateful for her wisdom and that shared by other centenarians I have met over the last 10 years. A final message from Ms. Hilda is to keep your mind challenged, perhaps as she does, with a daily crossword puzzle.<\/span>\n\n\u00a0<\/span>\n\n \n\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
