How Long Will You Live?

by Kay Heitsch

My friend Ann loved to take online quizzes that would estimate how long you would live by your healthy lifestyle. Every time she took a quiz, she would ask me to take it too. After taking several of these, she estimated we would live to be over 100.
I always laughed and told Ann I certainly wasn't eating and exercising to live a long time. I was only doing it to feel good every day.
We never know how long we are going to live. We can take quizzes, and they will estimate with the information you put in how long you will live, but that's it.
Yesterday was my friend Ann's birthday. Even though she lived a healthy lifestyle and thought she would live to be over 100, she died a few years ago.
I'm delighted Ann did live a healthy lifestyle and enjoyed every day of her life. It's important to eat healthily and exercise. Both of these help us enjoy life to the fullest, but they won't guarantee you'll live to be 100.
We don't know how long we will live. Enjoy your life now.
