The Scottish centenarian, Susanna Mushatt Jones is the primary subject of this post.

We can learn so much from our elders.

She lived to be 116, and one of the secrets was to simply avoid men.

She is spot on with this one. If you read the article here , her actual words were …

“My secret to a long life has been staying away from men. They’re just more trouble than they’re worth.”.

I would have to agree with her. I’ve been nothing but trouble since day one.

There is also a nice video of her speaking as well.

Relationships are never easy and only work, when there are no expectations from either party. You just need to show up and have fun, laugh, play, work or whatever you might be doing together … just respect, love and embrace the moments and each other as you are, nothing more, nothing less.
