    Just a thought for the New Year - - - -

    As we age, this is most appropriate

    It wouldn't be funny if it wasn't so true... Julie Andrews turned 80 -
    To commemorate her 80th birthday on October 1, actress/vocalist, Julie Andrews made a special appearance at Manhattan's Radio City Music Hall for the benefit of the AARP. One of the musical numbers she performed was "My Favorite Things" from the legendary movie "Sound Of Music."

    Here are the actual lyrics she used:

    Maalox and nose drops and needles for knitting, Walkers and handrails and
    new dental fittings, Bundles of magazines tied up in string, These are a few
    of my favorite things.

    Cadillacs and cataracts, and hearing aids and glasses, Polident and Fixodent
    and false teeth in glasses, Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with swings,
    These are a few of my favorite things.

    When the pipes leak, When the bones creak, When the knees go bad,
    I simply remember my favorite things, And then I don't feel so bad.

    Hot tea and crumpets and corn pads for bunions, No spicy hot food or food
    cooked with onions, Bathrobes and heating pads and hot meals they bring,
    These are a few of my favorite things.

    Back pains, confused brains, and no need for sinnin', Thin bones and
    fractures and hair that is thinnin', And we won't mention our short, shrunken frames, When we remember our favorite things.

    When the joints ache, When the hips break, When the eyes grow dim, Then I remember the great life I've had, And then I don't feel so bad.

    (Ms. Andrews received a standing ovation from the crowd that lasted over
    four minutes and repeated encores.)

    The guy who invented the first wheel was an idiot -
    the guy who invented the second one... he was the genius!

    I went to bed bed a "young man" and awoke a "old man".......life is ever fleeting and passes in the "blink of a eye". Enjoy every minute to include the "aches and pains".

    Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.
