octogenar optimist

At the urging of his doctor, an elderly man moved to a rural setting. After settling in, he met a neighbor who was also in his eighties. “Say, is this really a healthy place?”

“It sure is,” the man replied. “When I first arrived here I couldn’t say one word. I had hardly any hair on my head. I didn’t have the strength to walk across a room, and I had to be lifted out of bed.” “That’s wonderful!” said the newcomer. “How long have you been here?” “I was born here.”
