"Everything I Needed To Know About Life I Learned From A Jigsaw Puzzle"

 

 

1. Don't force a fit. If something is meant to be, it will come together naturally.

 

2. When things aren't going so well, take a break. Everything will look different when you return.

 

3. Be sure to look at the big picture. Getting hung up on the little pieces only leads to frustration.

 

4. Perseverance pays off. Every important puzzle went together bit by bit, piece by piece.

 

5. When one spot stops working, move to another. But be sure to come back later (see #4).

 

6. The creator of the puzzle gave you the picture as a guidebook.

 

7. Variety is the spice of life. It's the different colors and
patterns that make the puzzle interesting.

 

8. Working together with friends and family makes any task fun.

 

9. Establish the border first. Boundaries give a sense of security and order.

 

10. Don't be afraid to try different combinations. Some matches are surprising.

 

11. Take time often to celebrate your successes (even little ones).

 

12. Anything worth doing takes time and effort. A great puzzle can't be rushed.

"No Nursing Home For Me"

 

 

With the average cost for a nursing home reaching $188.00 per day, there is a better way to spend our savings, when we get old and feeble.

 

I have already checked on reservations at the Holiday Inn for a combined long term stay discount and a senior discount. It comes to only $49.23 per night. That leaves $138.77 a day for:

 

1. Breakfast, lunch and dinner in any restaurant I want, or room service.

 

2. Laundry, gratuities and special TV movies. Plus, they provide a swimming pool, a workout room, a lounge, washer, dryer,etc. Most have free toothpaste and razors, and all have free shampoo and soap.

 

3. They treat you like a customer, not a patient. $5 worth of tips a day will have the entire staff scrambling to help you.

 

4. There is city Bus stop out front, and seniors ride free. The Handicap bus will also pick you up (if you fake a decent limp).

 

5. To meet other nice people, call a Church bus on Sundays. For a change of scenery, take the Airport shuttle Bus and eat at one of the nice restaurants there. While you're at the airport, fly somewhere. Otherwise the cash keeps building up.

 

6. It takes months to get into decent nursing homes. Holiday Inn will take your reservation today. And - you are not stuck in one place forever, you can move from Inn to Inn, or even from city to city. Want to see Hawaii? They have a Holiday Inn there too.

 

7. TV broken? Light bulbs need changing? Need a mattress replaced? No problem. They fix everything, and apologize for the inconvenience.

 

8. The Inn has a night security person and daily room service. The maid checks to see if you are OK. If not, they will call the undertaker or an ambulance. If you fall and break a hip, Medicare will pay for the hip, and Holiday Inn will upgrade you to a suite for the rest of your life.

 

9. And no worries about visits from family. They will always be glad to find you, and will probably check in for a few days mini-vacation. The grandkids can use the pool.

 

What more can you ask for?

 

So . . .
