Hello, God. It's me, Mara.

You know, Lord, it was entertaining and enjoyable checking out a saved article about having fun. Sharing with others, we did have to chuckle as sure enough, some of what we read already was us! So, thought we'd share some secrets (author unknown):

• Your kids are becoming you - but your grandchildren are perfect.

• Going out is good, but coming home is even a whole lot better.

• You forget names, but that's OK because other folks forgot they even knew you!

• You realize you're never going to be really good at anything, especially golf.

• You sleep better on a lounge chair with TV blaring than in bed, it's called pre-sleep.

• You tend to use more four-letter words: "what?" ... "when?" ... "where?" ...???

• You notice everything they sell in stores is "sleeveless"?!!

• What used to be freckles are now liver spots.

• Everybody whispers.

• You have three sizes of clothes in your closet ... two of which you will never wear.

• You miss the days when everything worked with just an "on" and "off" switch.

• Now that you can afford expensive jewelry, it's not safe to wear it anywhere

• The things you used to care to do, you no longer care to do, but you really care that you don't care to do them anymore.

• Old is still good in some things: Old Songs, Old movies, best of all, Old Friends!

• It's not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of a life that you have lived.

• Be sure you have God's Hand on your steering wheel of life because living right is hard.

• So, dear friend, be happy, have a great day, stay safe, keep well, share with another Old Friend, let them laugh in agreement.

• Remember: It's health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.

Love, Mara
