Aging well is a commitment to others as well as yourself, according to an active, vibrant 95-year old.

Lillian Wentworth who will actually be 96 soon explains, ” I adored the years as much as possible.”

Still working, Mrs. Wentworth volunteers at Thayer Academy where she is much loved and where she works in the library.

Friends, administrators and students of Thayer see that her needs are taken care of in return.  They clear her walkway of snow so she can come to work.  That’s because they want her to be at the library.

Here’s an important point we often forget.

If you take care of others and show a geniune concern for them, they will do likewise for you.  Old age should be a time of good relationships because after all, we have been spending a lifetime building relationships.

Lillian Wentworth is a good example of what I want to be now and in my later years.
