Image result for an Elderly Person Skydiving I think this is the lady that is 90 and did this skydive here recently.

Now that I am seventy- eight Standing long time_ not In the spring blowing snot a lot Wonder what seventy-nine holds Wonder if I will see the calendar turn Bring eighty to a fulfilled dream Wonder if I will have enough steam Just to get out of bed and make it up I really don't worry about those things God cared and brought me into the fold Even though Satan my life tried to control Open the calendar and see what it brings

Sara, I am really delighted to feel your zest for living. Cherish great aspirations, dear. Even at this age, you go on strong by the grace of God. May He grant you many more years of health, happiness and creativity!

Valsa, my father said that we as humans want to hold onto life no matter what age we live to be, and he was 96 and 11 months plus 2 weeks at the time. He said he and everyone else would want to have health enough to do for ourselves and at least do a little for others though. Thank you for the kind review and the hopes of God allowing me longevity, happiness and creativity. Sara

Sara, 78 is Great! A belated Happy Birthday. Just think: You've got 12 whole years to prepare for that skydive! btw: George Bush Sr. parachuted out of a helicopter or plane for his 90th birthday. (Not recommended). Let me know when we get there, and I'll join you for the skydive. Ladies first, as I remain ever the gentleman. ~ gw

Yeah!! Yeah!! Get me to jump first while you laugh all the way to the airport!! Thanks for the nice review of my work. I will not be skydiving though. I am like Clint Eastwood; one has to know their limitations. Sara
