~Deep within a forest a little turtle began to climb a tree.

After hours of effort he reached the top, jumped into the air

waving his front legs, and crashed to the ground. After

recovering, he slowly climbed the tree again, jumped, and fell

to the ground.

The turtle tried again and again while a couple of birds

sitting on a branch watched his sad efforts.

Finally, the female bird turned to her mate.

~A Quick Witted Prayer~

Dear Lord,

So far today, I am doing all right.

I have not gossiped, or lost my temper.

I have not been greedy, grumpy, nasty,

selfish or self indulgent.

However, I am going to get out of bed

in a few minutes

and will need a lot more help after that...

~Amen~

{Thanks Aunt Ray}

~~I'm Awfully Well For The Shape I'm In~~

There's nothing whatever the matter with me,

I'm just as healthy as I can be.

I have arthritis in both my 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.

I think my liver is out of whack,

And a horrible pain is in my back.

My hearing is poor, my sight is dim,

Most everything seems to be out of trim,

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

I've arch supports for both my feet,

Or I wouldn't be able to walk down the street.

Sleep is denied me, night after night,

And every morning, I look a sight.

My memory is failing, my heads in a spin,

I'm practically living on aspirin.

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

The moral is, as this tale we unfold,

That you and I are just growing old.

It's better to say, "I'm fine," with a grin,

Than to let anyone know the shape we're in...

{Thanks to the Village People, Elaine and Paul}
