Are you ever too old to give up on a dream?

Is it just Me, or do you, too enjoy hearing that someone has finally fulfilled a dream and taken something off the bucket list?

I see age as a frame of reference, not a frame of mind.  Age documents time spent here; it doesn’t define or limit all that  is possible at any age – at every age.

I’ve been blessed to share time and space with many who defy the age on a driver’s license by the very way  they drive around:  being, doing, living.   In a previous Blog, I referenced the ageless Tina Turner, asking that noone tell her how “old” she really is.

In a separate Blog, I wrote about Bucket Lists, stating they the one who passes over to the other side with the longest list is NOT the winner.

Today, I share the story of a 100 year-old Grandmother who just graduated elementary school!  Yes, she graduated from the 8^th grade.

 Yes, she is 100 years old!

Born in Mexico in 1913, Manuela Hernandez attended one year of school as a child.  At age  six, she could already wash and iron, so her fmaily withdrew her from school so she could help support them; a fate most likely known to many children of that time.

Manuela never gave up her dream to go to school.  As a recent graduate of the 8^th grade, Manuela plans to begin high school without further delay.

So, IS it just me, or do you, too wish  yo could throw Manuela the biggest graduation party and celebrate this wonderful achievement?

I love you, Manuela!
