Elderly Advice: Get Over It!

A 90-year old woman in a wheelchair was so full of energy that she ran the rest of her family ragged. When asked what she does when she gets discouraged, she answered "Why, I just get over it. What else is there to do?"

As the day goes on, there will be little and not-so-little setbacks that sap energy. It's perfectly normal; it's no personal failure; it's proper to pause and take a breath. And then it's time to put it out of mind, replace it with a better thought, and move on. Often times, you'll feel stronger than before, just for having bounced back.
