Eighty years and counting

Mom turns eighty Saturday. 
A series of strokes have left her with limited use of her right arm and leg. She spends her days and nights in a La-Z-Boy recliner at Bickford Cottage. She has trouble speaking. But her mind is clear, she still has a great sense of humor, and she continues to be one of the happiest people I know. 
When I start feeling ground down by the world -- as I do this week -- I think about her.
