Happy birthday to everyone’s favorite Golden Girl! Television icon Betty White turns 96 years old on Wednesday— and social media couldn’t help but celebrate the legendary actress.

Earlier this month, White told Parade that her secret to a long, healthy and happy life is simply enjoying it. “Accentuate the positive, not the negative,” she told the magazine. “It sounds so trite, but a lot of people will pick out something to complain about, rather than say, ‘Hey, that was great!’ It’s not hard to find great stuff if you look.” She added that vodka and hot dogs—”probably in that order”—don’t hurt either.
