how great it is to open the drapes in my bedroom every morning and see a beautiful view which includes a large cross on a distant hill. It reminds me to thank God for another day and ask for blessings, not only for myself, but my family and friends. I keep hoping someday when I spread the drapes, I’ll once again see rain. Until then, I’ll just continue to enjoy beautiful blue skies and sunshine.
YOU KNOW YOU’RE GETTING OLD WHEN…
you forget someone’s name 10 seconds after they tell you.

leave laundry in the dryer until it wrinkles. Then turn on the dryer to take out the new wrinkles.
Then you forget it again.
