So Funny

    

     THE SHAPE I AM IN

There's nothing the matter with me

I'm just as healthy as can be

I have arthritis in both knees

And when I talk, I talk with a wheeze

My pulse is weak and my blood is thin 

But I'm awfully well for the shape I'm in!

 

 All my teeth have had to come out,  

and my diet  I hate to think about

I'm overweight and I can't get thin,

But I'm awfully well for the shape I'm in.

 

 A arch support I need for my feet...

 Or I wouldn't be able to go out in the street.

Sleep is denied me night after night,

but every morning I find I'm all right.

My memory's failing, my head's in a spin...

But I am awfully well for the shape I'm in.

 

Old age is golden I have heard it said,

But sometimes I wonder as I go to bed 

With my ears in a drawer,, my teeth in a cup,

And my glasses on a shelf until I get up.

And when sleep dims my  eyes, I say to myself

Is there anything else I should lay on the shelf?

The reason I know my youth has been spent

Is my get- up and- go has got- up and went!

But really I don't mind when I think with a grin ,

 Of all the places my get- up has been.

 I get up each morning and dust off my wits,

Pick up the paper and read the obits. 

If my name is missing,

 I'm therefore not dead, 

So I eat a good breakfast and jump back into bed. 

 The moral of this as the tale unfolds,

Is that for you and me , who are growing old....

It is better t I o say "I'm fine" with a grin,

Than to let people know the shape we are in.

😀😄😄  haha!!

LIFE

 Anyone who imagines that life is total  bliss are going to be somewhat disappointed 

Most putts don't drop...

Most beef is tough 

Alot of us thinking life is unfair... are going to waste alot of time running around shouting that he has been robbed.   

Most children grow up to be just people

Most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual tolerance

Most jobs are more often dull than otherwise....

DELAYS

SIDETRACKS

SOME SMOKE

SOME DUST

SOME JOLTS

 and occasionally your see something of beauty  and  perhaps even a occasional burst of  cheerfulness.....

  Just be grateful for the RIDE!!  HAVE A GREAT RIDE TODAY EVERYONE!!🌞

Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley

Quote by Pres. Hinckley of the 

"Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints."

 

"The Church is true , it will weather every storm that beats against it. It will outlast every critic who rises to mock it.  It was established by God our Eternal Father for the blessing of His sons and daughters of all generations. It carries the name of Him who stands as its head, even the Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world.  It is governed and moves by  the power of the priesthood.  It sends forth to the world another witness of the divinity of the Lord.  

Be true Be loyal  to the great things of God which have been revealed in this dispensation." wrote this in 1985

Thomas Jefferson

  This man has done alot to help Americans to fall in love with their country and learn its history.  He helped to pen this quote:            

 We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness."

Gift of Time

Today I write on the subject of  time 

and think about just how much time do I have left?

I am  thinking this is the winding down years of dad and mine and its sad that we don't have all our children near so could spend time with them and the grandchildren. Now you  may be reading this after we have passed on so you may not realize how important the gift of time is until its near over.  We don't give much thought to TIME but always wanting so much more of it!!  Just read these thoughts

                                                                           Time

Time is a precious gift and how we spend it is up to you and me. Some of our time is cut short leaving others to hurt while others our filled to the very top. We know no  time limit .....we are in the dark as to how we will spend it....or when our time will  run out....as with a bank account we know and see the amount spent and what we have left ... thus we plan our expenditures and able to save for that rainy day in effect.

With life there is no way to know what is left .....Some would say thats good, others not so sure. We have been lucky thus far with theh  Time God so generously gives us....when young you may have felt you wasted some time but now older you want to spend it wisely.     

We all spend our days different, we have bedtime, summertime' worktime, traveltimes , funtimes and on and on . 

Thank you for spending some of your precious gift of time reading my blog....💓

Saying's of the family.....

 We all say things mostly out of habit:

Bump....You say something and he will say ".Exactly"

Joe.....I don't want people telling  me how to live my life and I don't tell others how to live theirs. 

Sarah .....calls everyone "Sweetie."

Donna....

Dad.....
