Although we all wonder what it is like to get old, no one can ever really know until they get there.

Former English teacher, 91-year-old Flossie Lewis, has done a great job as explaining it though.

In this video from the PBS web series, Brief But Spectacular, Flossie shares her thoughts on aging.

She says just because her body is deteriorating, it doesn’t mean her personality has – or her love life!

What a wonderful take on growing old gracefully.
