Each of us knows at least one mum or dad in the family or in the neighbourhood who is a joy to look at, has an enviable zest for life and makes the most of every day.
The love of life is something that most people realise late in life, but better late than never. The cliché sayings that talk about living life to the max, feeling in the flow, being present in the moment, are nonsense that can be dismissed as nonsense. It’s a pity that these life wisdoms flow from every tap, yet only the 1% know what they are really about.
In brightside.me’s gallery, we feature 18 ladies and gentlemen over 70 who are, to use the fashionable phrase, maximising every day. Let’s take a look at some of them!
