In addition to keeping a good sense of humor, she said that staying positive has helped her age gracefully. She said to “accentuate the positive, not the negative. It sounds so trite, but a lot of people will pick out something to complain about, rather than say, ‘Hey, that was great!’ It’s not hard to find great stuff if you look.” She admits that she gets bored with people who complain all the time and tries to always keep a positive attitude herself.
