Things

 Last week, Smokey the Bear turned 76. Tomorrow, I join him. So, I got to thinking...

Things I can no longer do, be, or have:

- Pearly white teeth

- Yogi flexibility

- Easy 10-day weight loss

- 50-year goals

- Excellent hearing 

- Perfect vision

- Lovely skin

- Perfect memory

- Eat my whole dinner

Things I can do even better:

- Be calm

- Be loving

- Be patient

- Be wise

- Be learning

- Be comfortable 

- Be understanding 

- Be appreciative 

- Be enthusiastic

- Be compassionate 

 - Be in touch 

- Be a friend

- Be happy!
