92-year-old, petite, well-poised and proud lady, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o'clock, with her hair fashionably coifed and makeup perfectly applied, even though she is legally blind, moved to a nursing home today. Her husband of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary. After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home, she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready. As she maneuvered her walker to the elevator, including the eyelet sheets that had been hung on her window. "I love it," she stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy.

ones that do. Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open I'll focus on
the new day and all the happy memories I've stored away...just for this time
in my life. Old age is like a bank account ...you withdraw from what you've

bank account of memories Thank you for your part in filling my Memory bank.

Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
