"I enjoy nothing but eating and sleeping"

World’s oldest person said at november when she was 115 years old and after casting her vote for Barack Obama in the presidential election.
For just one moment imagine yourself instead of her:
“Baines outlived her entire family, including her only daughter, who died of typhoid. Baines worked as a maid in Ohio State University dormitories until her retirement and has lived at the Western Convalescent Hospital in Los Angeles for more than 10 years. Baines celebrated her birthday at the nursing home April 6 with music, two cakes and a letter from Obama.Featured on local television newscasts when she voted last year, Baines, who is black, said she backed Obama "because he's for the colored." She said she never thought she would live to see a black man become president.”1
“Witt, Baines' physician, said that when he visited her earlier this week, she only complained that her bacon was soggy and arthritis was causing pain in her right knee. “1
So what do you say? I mean after working long life as a maid and be in the dreamy country like US? … Yea, that’s right. You’ll enjoy probably nothing but doing your interests(eating ans sleeping or praying and worship or learning and teaching or whatever). I mean that’s it. That’s the point. It doesn’t matter wherever you are. Go for your interest and enjoy. Then you will understand why she told that: “I don't care if I live a hundred more”
But… She died today while she was doing her interest; sleeping. and she fall asleep forever!
