Life  Ain't  Always  Fun  And It  Ain't  Always Fair  But  It's  Always  An Experience.  It's  How  You  Respond To  That  Experience  And  What  You  Decide  To  Learn  From  It  That  Counts.  Have Fun, We Only Go Around Once.

A little old lady named Judy, Works hard to accomplish her duties. She cooks and she cleans, Runs errands, makes things, For friends and for family outings. Sometimes her arthritis flares up. She can barely pick up a cup; But she's no cry baby, She's one tough old lady, A hot bath and a pill and she's up. She'll finish the job 'fore she'll stop. She loves life and she lives it a lot. She'll keep goin' full tilt, Until she gets kilt, Or she runs out of gas and just drops.

Good one. I think most woman have at least some of that drive about life. Arthritis is not a friend that is for sure. My husband said his grandmother took a bath in Absorbine, Jr. every night. I use Aspercreme on my hands at night and during the day as well. Not quite the stink of Absorbine. Thanks for your visit to my page. Sara

Loved it, Judy. So many of your lines I could relate to. But, we just need to keep on kickin' rather than take a lickin'! (chuckling)
