Listen to the old Jewish grandmother

I've heard it said that you should never brag about good luck or you may regret it.  Must be something to it because here it is the first of the new year and Michael has a torn retina and has to have emergency surgery to reattach it.  Ok, so it was just there waiting to happen, but it will sure keep me quiet about my good fortune next time.

The older we get the bigger the picture we have of life.  We have a panorama of the past, our younger years, all the way through to what it looks like on the older end of the spectrum. We see the folly of youth that think what they do has no lasting effect on their future.  And we see the regret of the elderly for wasting  the opportunities of their youth.  My advise to the young is floss, eat right, exercise, pray and laugh heartily so that when you reach the other end of your life you have all the advantages possible given to you to enjoy a great life during your senior years.  Use our view to allow you to avoid future regrets.  Amen
