"A Merry Heart Is Good Medicine"

Okay dear ones, I realize there is not one spiritual nugget in this entire particular posting but if we’re going to be true to the heading of this tab (Heartlift), I’ve got to tell you, this story forwarded to me by a friend lifted my heart and made me laugh right out loud smack dab in the middle of my office!  Of course, it could be because it felt strangely familiar since I caught myself having a Senior Moment this morning when I heard the microwave beep…and opened the refrigerator door!  Heaven help the children!

This is a true account as recorded in the Police Log 

of Sarasota, Florida.An elderly Florida lady did her 

shopping and, upon returning to her car, found four 

males in the act of leaving with her vehicle. She 

dropped her shopping bags and drew her handgun, 

proceeding to scream at the top of her voice, "I 

have a gun, and I know how to use it!  Get out of the car." 

The four men didn't wait for a second invitation. They 

got out and ran like mad. The lady, somewhat shaken, 

then proceeded to load her shopping bags into the 

back of the car and got into the driver's seat. 

She was so shaken that she could not get her key 

into the ignition. She tried and tried, and then it 

dawned on her why. For the same reason she did 

not understand why there was a football, a Frisbee 

and two 12 packs of beer in the front seat! 

A few minutes later, she found her own car parked four 

or five spaces farther down. She loaded her bags into 

the car and drove to the police station to report her 

mistake. The sergeant to whom she told the story couldn't stop laughing. He pointed to the other 

end of the counter, where four palemen were reporting a 

car jacking by a mad,elderly woman described as white, 

less than five feet tall, glasses, curlywhite hair, and 

carrying a large handgun. No charges were filed. 

If you're going to have a Senior Moment, make it a 

memorable one!

Amen and Amen!

May joy, laughter and merriment be medicine to your heart and soul this week,

Kay
