Considerations the new year

Interview iwth a 99 year old

I saw an interview with a woman recently who turned 99.  The person interviewing her asked a typical question about her life and what had made her successful.  She took some time to think and responded, “With each year I made sure I became more colorful.  There’s nothing worse than having a mundane life.”  I immediately wanted to know more about her and how she made her life more colorful.  She wasn't talking about becoming more excentric or bizarre. I believe she was talking about making her life more interesting. 

What an interesting thought especially with a new year beginning.  How would I make my life more colorful/or interesting?  Perhaps by

being more interested in others, being more open & tolerant, smiling more, becoming more inquisitive, trying new things, spending time with others and being more grateful?  How would you apply the idea of growing more colorful?
