My mom was physically handicapped and in a lot of pain because of arthritis. However, she sewed, delivered meals to the elderly, and traveled with my dad until she died. I asked her once why she continued to do so much even though people told her to slow down. She looked at me and said, "I plan to live until I die. Not just take up space and stare at the scenery."

It is still my benchmark for a good life.
