***** May Thoughts ***** Insomnia sharpens your math skills because you spend all night calculating how much sleep you’ll get if you’re able to fall asleep right now. If you’re happy and you know it.. It’s your med’s. Of course I talk to myself….sometimes I need expert advice. Some things are better left unsaid. I often realize this after I’ve said them. The reason there are two senators for each state is so that one can be the designated driver.

Our weekly luncheon’s continue to meet every Thursday at 11:30 a.m. followed by fellowship and a variety of games. Please feel free to contact me at 512/627-9707 for additional information.

***** April Thoughts *****

The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and try to put things in it. I learned a long time ago that worrying is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do but it doesn’t get you anywhere. Life begins at 40–but so do fallen arches, rheumatism, faulty eyesight, and the tendency to tell a story to the same people, three or four times. Never put off till tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow. As you get older, three things happen: The first is your memory goes, and I can’t remember the other two.

Our weekly luncheon’s continue to meet every Thursday at 11:30 a.m. followed by fellowship and a variety of games. Please feel free to contact me at 512/627-9707 for additional information.

********* March Thoughts **********

Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes. Friends are people who know you really well and like you anyway. My bed is a magical place where I suddenly remember everything I was supposed to do. One advantage of talking to yourself is that you know at lease somebody’s listening.

**** February Thoughts ****

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift — that is why it is called the present.

True bonding happens when your friends and you are all mad about that same thing.

I remember it like it was yesterday. Of course, I don’t really remember yesterday all that well.

I used to think I was Indecisive , but now I’m not so sure.

**** January Thoughts****

Today is the first page of a 365 page book. Write a good one. My phone battery lasts longer than my New Year’s resolution. You know you’re getting older when you stoop to tie your shoelaces and wonder what else you could do while you’re down there. One benefit of getting older is that your secrets are always safe with your friends – because they can’t remember them anyway. When I say, “The other day,” I could be referring to any time between yesterday and 15 years ago.
