My grandmother is 97. She's taught me to lean into what makes you happy, and that quality is better than quantity.

• My grandmother lives in Scotland and I grew up in California, but I've always been close to her.
• She's now 97, and I've learned so much from her over the years about being happy and healthy.
• I've learned to lean into what makes you happy, to find small ways to stay fit, and to stay current.

I live in California. My grandmother lives 5,000 miles away in Scotland, but the distance between us never felt that far.
