Summary of Life

by John Armstrong
(Tyler, TX)

GREAT TRUTHS THAT ADULTS HAVE LEARNED:

1) Raising teenagers is like nailing jelly to a tree.

2) Wrinkles don't hurt.

3) Families are like fudge...mostly sweet, with a few nuts.

4) Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground.

5) Laughing is good exercise. It's like jogging on the inside.

6) Old age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy.

THE FOUR STAGES OF LIFE:

1) You believe in Santa Claus.
2) You don't believe in Santa Claus.
3) You are Santa Claus.
4) You look like Santa Claus.

Hey John, I thought that you had fallen off the face of Tyler.....thanks for your pearls of thought!

I guess you have been busy doing what ever you folks do down in Tyler....drop me a line if you get a chance....perhaps you have read some of my recent posts....hope all is well on the "homefront."

Are you still doing some of that hospital volunteering? As you know, I am about ten weeks into this "new life", waiting to see how things play out....take care!
