And last but not least...my grandmother (mom's side) turned 94 on Friday 10th of April. She was born in 1915 and is one of the most amazing people it has ever been my priviledge to know. She is my hero, my idol and my inspiration! The women on my mom's side of the family live forever...it bodes well for my plan to live to 112!

Keep breathing...long, slow deep breaths...must not pass out and bang my forehead on the keyboard. Go on...take the test! I dare you!

Living forever is a process. It is one which will require a number of changes. I've been researching these for the past couple of weeks and I'll be using the following:
http://www.wikihow.com/Live-a-Long-Life
http://www.wikihow.com/Grow-Old-Without-Feeling-Old
http://www.realage.com/homepage.aspx - I'm going to take the test and see what happens.
http://www.fitbug.com/uk.sales - I'm not selling you anything! I joined up thru my work for this.
http://www.101thingstodo.co.uk/home.html - I found the book in a 2nd hand bookstore over here. I'm not convinced of all 101 things so I'm replacing a few but it's a fabulous place to start!
http://www.thingstodo.oncelife.com.au/ - Similar but a bit different...you get the idea!
http://www.happier.com/form.htm - Because we can always learn more tools for the one goal in life...to be happy!

rom a mathematical perspective, I would like to think that these first 37 years are simply the first one-third of my life. With that in mind, I'd really like like to live until I'm 112. That way I still have two-thirds of my life to look forward to. And I do look forward to every second!!! I have so many things I still want to do, so many things that I WILL do.
Now obviously - it's a difficult thing to predict how long we will live in this life. But I do think it's possible to change your outlook and your daily habits so that you can live just as long as possible. The PhD student in me has begun the research at the following website...this is just the beginning of the next 75 glorious years! I'm so excited to see what happens next!

After much consideration, I have decided to live forever. Ok - it's not quite that extreme. Still - I have decided that I am going to concentrate all my energies toward the goal of living to be AT LEAST 100 years old. I love this life and I'm determined to make it last just as long as possible!
I am 37 years old and will be 38 in November. 2009 is a year of momentous anniversaries. Some of these I will continue to keep and honour and others I have decided to leave in the past where they belong. Let's see...
20th High School Reunion...June 2009.
15th Anniversary of my 1st marriage...February 2009.
10th Anniversary of my divorce...March 2009.
10th Anniversary of when I changed my surname to Holland...April 2009.
5th Anniversary of my marriage to DAC...August 2009.
In my 37 years, there have been many important times. Of the above, I am most proud of the last two on the list and these are the ones that will follow me into the next 37 years.
