I WAS THINKING…
about the famous quote ‘Grow where you are planted’. If there ever was a time to accept where we are planted, it’s now. Most of us don’t really want to be planted at home, but because of the pandemic, that’s the way it is. So, we get to grow at home. We can do that. There’s the computer. It’s endless what we can learn from our computer. If you’re like me, you have a stack of books waiting to be opened. And who doesn’t have “stuff” that needs to be discarded. Being planted at home, makes us realize…now we have the time. (or not)
No matter where we are, time moves on. Personally, I don’t want to waste a minute of it because every day there is less remaining.
YOU KNOW YOU ARE GETTING OLD WHEN…
you start making the same noises as your coffee maker.
half the stuff in your shopping cart says, “For fast relief”.
OVERHEARD
They told me I was gullible…and I believed them.
I used to be indecisive. Now I’m not sure.
Experience is the thing you have left when everything else is gone.
All I ask is a chance to prove that money can’t make you happy.
Two can live as cheaply as one, for half as long.
ON THE LIGHTER SIDE
A woman on the phone to her friend: “I feel like my body has gotten totally out of shape, so I got my doctor’s permission to join a fitness club and start exercising. I decided to take an aerobics class for seniors. I bent, twisted, gyrated, jumped up and down, and perspired for an hour. But, by the time I got my leotards on, the class was over.”

To avoid wrinkles, take clothes out of dryer immediately, then fold or hang.
If you forget to take out right away, throw in a damp towel and dry 5 to10 minutes to remove wrinkles.
