Hi! This is a place for you to share everything positive with kind strangers on the Internet.
Made new friends? Found love? Got a new wonderful job? Bought something cool? Found something amazing on the Internet? Maybe had a wonderful celebration? Maybe something else? Or you're just in a great, grateful, relaxed mood and want to share some of it with the world?
Share it, and let the fire in your eyes brighten everybody's day, for joys are best when shared!
Rules:
No negativity: This is a safe and positive space. Make sure your posts and comments respect that. If you feel offended by any of the posts - feel free to message admin(s)!
No discrimination: Posts and comments should not contain any forms of discrimination and hostilities to any groups of people.
No gloating: If you got happier by making someone else feel worse, this is not the place to share it. This is a place to express gratitude, and share moments that will feel warm to everyone.
Rules are work in progress and subject to change. If you want to help moderating the community and keeping it alive, let me (Allero@lemmy.today) know! Everyone is welcome!
I’ve met a few other 90+ people and they seem the same way.
I’ve been trying to reverse my negative outlook on life, especially since I’m largely blessed compared to much of the world despite the few issues I encounter. Even if it doesn’t affect the age, who wants to live so many decades being absolutely miserable?
One of the notable people I’ve met who was 92 was telling us about her time as a nurse in WWII and she said she stopped drinking at age 23 and never had another alcoholic beverage.
Yeah, I'm thinking that to reach our 90's we have to be positive. I def think it has something to do with longevity. Not so much that being positive will mean that we live past 90, but that we probably won't make it to 90 if we're not positive.
I'm a pretty positive guy, my family is long lived, and I have an awesome life and I'm healthy. So I planning on making it to at least 100. We'll see.
It's also about learning new things. I've just decided to start learning programing in the Lua language today. So I still get excited about little things like that
