Happy Birthday 生日快樂 !
Ok, everybody: 祝 妳 生日快樂, 祝 妳 生日 快樂, 祝 妳 生日 快樂 ______, 祝 妳 生日 快樂!

This is the birthday girl and a friend of ours.

We had a birthday party for a friend of ours. She is 80 years young with more energy than most of us half her age or less. People stopped by who have been helped by or worked with her over the years. She is hoping to go overseas to serve in teaching...an amazing person.

I hope that when I get to that age I have that much energy. Of course it helps to have good genetics, but I think that purpose is important. If people give up what they were intended to do and sit around passing time then they will go quickly. That is why comfortable, gilded surroundings with nothing to do is bad for the elderly. People have to find something that they can do to contribute and keep doing it. It is giving out more than receiving that gives life its meaning.
