We recently found this marvelous post on Oddee.com entitled "8 Inspirational Older People". It tells the stories of 8 people ranging in age from 56 to 108 (yes, 108!) who have managed to keep their lives and accomplishments not only ultra - progressive, but truly inspiring!
Here's an excerpt from the Oddee.com post about Olive Riley, the who was "the world's oldest blogger":
"....Believed to have been the world's oldest blogger, Australian woman Olive Riley began her blog The Life of Riley in February 2007 at the age of 107 and made her final post on 26 June 2008 from a nursing home in Woy Woy, New South Wales, complaining of a cough about two weeks before she died at the age of 108. She had posted over 70 entries, as well as several video posts on YouTube. Her blog (or "blob" as she called it) was inspired by her experience with documentary filmmaker Michael Rubbo who, in 2005, made a documentary about her titled All About Olive."
