Living the Aging Life

Good Morning, Friend.

Lift up your heart!

A Brand New Day!

A Fresh New Start!

Good morning, Friend.

I hope you’ll find

a day that’s gentle,

rich, and kind.

Good Morning, Friend.

This day’s for You!

May you find Joy

in all you do.

Good Morning, Friend.

Good cheer to you!

May you be blessed

in all you do.

I love a crisp potato chip –

a salty crunch upon my lip.

The pack is open till it’s done,

‘cuz no one – EVER! – ate just one.

The one who made potato chips

did lasting damage to my hips.

And did a number on my waist

with ev’ry crispy, salty taste.

The invention of Potato Chips

transformed the world forever…

a masterpiece of eatery…

a truly great endeavor.

tonight I send this blessing

and I hope it helps you sleep.

I hope the night is restful

and your slumber full and deep.

I hope the hours are gentle

as you rest your weary head.

And I hope you wake with energy

when you rise from your bed.

A garden’s always busy.

There is ever more to do.

And, there’s pleasure in that “busy”

though the work is never through.

My heart could use some courage.

My heart could use some pluck.

It could stand a bit of brav’ry.

And I’d like some plain dumb luck.

I’m looking for a miracle.

I’m finding quite a few!

The world sure needs some miracles.

One of them is you.

Today turns softly into night

and fades to memory.

Tomorrow brings new promise:

the best is yet to be.
