I’m 104 — I Never Skip These 4 Things Before Bed

Every single night of my life, before my head touches the pillow, I do four things. Not most nights — every night, for longer than most of you have been alive. I didn't learn these from a book. I learned them the slow way, over about a hundred years of trial and error, and I've never once found a reason to give any of them up. In this video I show you my last few minutes of every day: how I settle the day before I settle myself, so an unsettled worry doesn't turn into an unsettled night; the three particular thanks I say out loud, even alone in an empty room; why I never go to bed with the room in a mess, and the small kindness it is to the woman I'll be tomorrow morning; and the one I hold dearest — saying the names of everyone I love, out loud, whether or not I'm still a little cross with them, and why I've never once broken that rule in seventy years. I'm no doctor, and I won't pretend there's science behind any of this beyond a hundred years of one woman paying close attention to her own nights. But I've slept easy through wars, through losses, through every kind of trouble this world can hand a person, and I don't believe that's an accident. You don't have to do all four tonight.
