I taught tea for a long time, so I was always alert because of that. I’m already retired now, but tea still comes up all the time. I think I’m probably still healthy because I do things like that. I think it’s good to be doing something even though you get older. In addition to that, everyone – my son, my daughters, my grandchildren – everyone is good to me, and so I’m always happy. I think that also has something to do with it.
