Happy 107th Marion!
Happy 107th Marion!
What a great way to end the week – a 107th candle salute to Ecumen customer Marion Davidson.Happy Birthday from Changing Aging to Marion, who lives independently at the Ecumen community of Boardman Meadows in New Richmond, Wis.Any longevity keys we can take from Marion?When you talk with her, she talks about luck. And perhaps that and her genes are it, but when you meet her, you also can’t help but be struck by her positive, optimistic spirit (in fact, she lists two optimists as her favorite Presidents: FDR and Ronald Reagan) and her deep spiritual faith. She’s not been without significant challenges, including surviving cancer.Maybe Marion drinks a glass of red wine per day? Nope. She says she tried alcohol once, but couldn’t stand the taste and never had it again. Could diet be a big key? Well, Marion, will tell you that she eats what she wants – always has. So much for a one-size-fits-all approach to longevity.Our congratulations to Marion! We’re so glad you chose Ecumen!
