I am very close to 90. My birthday is in September. I just read a very interesting article from Cleveland Clinic. It is all about the benefits of black tea. I gave up drinking coffee many many years ago and have been drinking black tea since then. I also was a race walker for many years and then just walked until my recent hip replacement. I do not have aches and pains or major diseases of which I am aware. I do not eat sweets. Not for health reasons, but I just don't like the taste. So I have done a lot of right/good things by accident and here I am. Unhappily my husband of 59 years passed away almost 3 years ago and I am having a very hard time dealing with the grief. Yet I still go on. I call myself a survivor.

I´m so sorry for your loss. Hard to lose a best friend you´ve had for so many years. Joan

thisismarilynb. I like your message. It's sensible and uplifting. You call yourself a survivor. You are that, that's for sure. But you are also a "Warrior". I'm very sorry for your loss. Perhaps you can find an advocacy group in your area that helps people through the loss of loved ones. Is there a senior center near you? You seem to have a youthful spirit. I'm sure you can find others who would love to sit and chat with you over a cup of black tea. Many blessings to you from above. CB
