Yes, you read that right, Astrid Thoenig turned 100 with an office party. While so many others her age might be retired or living in a nursing home, Astrid’s still plugging away. And her current job is her favorite, working alongside her son and grandson at the family-owned insurance company. Her son jokes “I’m 67, and one of our jokes is: ‘How can I retire before my mother does?’”

“If you had to pick a dramatic century to live, it has to be Astrid’s,” her grandson told the AP. “The invention of the automobile and the airplane, television and computers, the moon landing and two world wars. 1780 to 1880 would have seen changes from a musket to a rifle.”

Thoenig says “thinking young” has helped her take a century’s worth of technological changes in stride. The daughter of Swedish immigrants, she credits her strong constitution, a wonderful family and getting up every day to get dressed and go to work with keeping her mind sharp.

I hope that at 100 I’m still spry enough to head into work each morning. My hat’s off to Astrid for breaking the mold and showing us that 100 is the new 80. Happy Birthday Astrid, and here’s to many more!
