How to be Happy in Old Age
by
Christine Swanberg

Refer to Pavarotti as your friend.

Listen to him often.

Try to live the way he sings.

Give everyone A’s in everything.

Never be afraid of your hair

or what others might say about it.

Prefer levity to pomposity.

Make up wonderful lies

especially to stupid questions.

Love good food and drink.

Cook marvelously.

Carry a rusty briefcase

or a red knapsack.

Make satirical weathervanes.

Wear outrageous socks.

Isaiah 60:  Rise up in splendor, Jerusalem!  Your light has come, the glory of the Lord shines upon you.
 Ephesians 3:  It was not made known to people in other generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit:  that the Gentiles are coheirs, members of the same body, and copartners in the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.
Matthew 2:  And behold, the star that they had seen at its rising preceded them, 
until it came and stopped over the place where the child was.  They were overjoyed at seeing the star, and on entering the house they saw the child with Mary his mother.

Lumbar Stenosis update:

1.  Friday afternoon surgery on the back, spent the night in Presby Dallas.

2.  Wednesday morning about 9:30, I suddenly knew I could do it and I walked with no assistance from the dining room to the kitchen sink.  This was humbling and encouraging.    Actually, I felt like I had just climbed Kilimanjaro again.  Wow!
