I Like Being 98

34,688 views
Evelyn (no last name given) was 97 when her driver's license was taken away from her for no other reason than her age. So, at age 98, she decided to get it back in order to fulfill a promise to a neighbor to get her to the grocery store once a week after their retirement community's bus service was discontinued. "When you make a promise, it's important for me to keep that promise if it's possible. I'm on the earth, I'm here. If I can contribute, I should. Shouldn't we all? And not just think of ourselves? I don't have money to give, but I can give myself."

What a great example of Psalm 92:14 "Even in old age they will still produce fruit; they will remain vital and green."
That's my goal as well. She is such an inspiration!

This video was a great inspiration to me however, I must advocate that this should definitely be Closed Caption for those who have hearing loss.

I am 77 and many times feel I have lived enough. But after seeing this video, I felt rejuvenated and felt I need to live more to uplift the spirits of my age group. Thank you for this infusion.

What a cool lady!! I would love to meet her; I wish I lived near her. One of my uncles lived to 101 (at least) - his 100th birthday party brought family from all over the U.S. together. He also gave back: continued driving well into his 90's and volunteered at a local hospital on a regular schedule. He lived in and maintained the home in which my cousins were raised until he was at least 96, maybe longer. Evelyn reminds me of him. I wish her good health and many more happy, productive years!
