We often take ourselves for granted. Not to mention our time here…

We push too hard, thinking that we can do everything, but then something happens and we are faced with a life altering defect.

Her granddaughter decided to dedicate her TikTok account to her grandmother’s pearls of wisdom.

And in one of her most popular TikTok videos, her grandmother shares the secret to living a long and healthy life.
