Dr. Ellsworth Wareham
(if you’re a vegan, I’m a vegan … make that a Seagan)
in October
he’ll be 103
a retired cardiac surgeon
he still assisted in the operating room
at 95
on his 100th birthday
he was outside mowing his grass with a push lawnmower
and he was still driving a car
and walking up and down his stairs for exercise
without a cane
his mind, his body, his soul
intact
he knows how to laugh
and let go
of the things he cannot change
and focus
on what he can
at the mid-way mark in life
he decided to make a life-change
and become a vegan
he popped a daily B12 supplement
and never looked back
he just made up his mind
that he wanted to live
as long as he possibly could
in the best way he knew how
and he’s done that
and then some
(happy 103rd birthday)
