So much has happened lately; carnage in Mumbai; Bangkok’s airports chaos & of course the on-going financial crisis. I shed tears everytime I read the daily reports of the senseless loss of Ms. Lo Hwei Yen in Mumbai. The pain felt by her immediate families and loved ones and even those who don’t know her is indescribable. How tragic.
On a more uplifting front is the return to normalcy of the Bangkok airports and especially heartening to know that our fellow SHCians are all home safe and sound. Your families must be happy & relieved!
Today in the Mind Your Body segment is an interesting article "Ageing In Style" written by Gary Hayden. He also quote an interesting poem by Samuel Ullman: ‘Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideas. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul’. The hale & hearty ways some of the SHCians displayed here are so true to this poem. These members are out to have a good time and at the same time they are ‘spreading’ their enthusiasm to other members. These members know who you are – so give yourselves a pat on the back!
Here’s wishing all a Happy, Healthy and SAFE New Year. Cheers, fellow SHC members.
