Joan of "Joan's Thoughts," also my Mom is 85 today!

My Mom, Joan, is 85 healthy years old today. Mum is an inspriation to all of us; my sisters, children, grandchildren, friends and extended family. She is truly an amzing person. Why is she so healthy? Good genes do make up part of it, but she has always cooked homemade food and exercised. This past week she had a touch of the flu and boy oh boy, she is not a good sick person...she isn't used to it. She was "bored silly." Now she is feeling better and is ready to join her walking friends at Ragle Park.
Mum is very wise and has a very spiritual side. As the matriarch of the family she keeps everyone close, probably without thinking. Have you chatted with your sister Dorothy today, she had a job interview that went well....or your sister Joanne is feeling good today or...you get the drift. I find myself doing the same thing. I ask my son Russell if he called his sister Olivia because she wasn't feeling well, on and on. We all learn from example how to behave and what health habits that will become a part of our lives. I have my Mom to thanks for setting a good example in many ways.
Thank you Mum and Happy Birthday!
Love,
Patty
