    Default Something to think about ...

    One of the ladies in "my" nursing home (no, I'm a volunteer, not a resident!), offered that she, at age 97, doesn't think of herself as growing old. She said she was old one day last week, and didn't like it, but she's better now.

    Ah, Betty. You have no idea how much I needed to read that today. Thank you and thank her, too!

    Hi Betty,

    Priceless! Thanks for sharing.*G* At
    a youthful 61 years of age, I can relate to
    what she is saying. I have the occasional
    "old" day, but I concentrate on the "young"
    ones as much as possible.*G* Warm regards,
    Jim

    Maybe that's why she lived to be 97 and still going strong (?)
