You are doing all right in life if…

July 4, 2024 Comments Off on You are doing all right in life if…

1. You have a roof over your head.
2. You ate today.
3. You have a good heart.
4. You wish good for others.
5. You have clean water.
6. Someone cares for you.
7. You strive to be better.
8. You have clean clothes.
9. You have a dream.
10. You’re breathing.

I would say that if you can identify with six to seven of the above, you’re doing all right. Specifically, number 10 is an important point.


While perusing the Internet I discovered that you don’t need a lot of money because it can’t buy:

1. Manners
2. Morals
3. Respect
4. Character
5. Common sense
6. Trust
7. Patience
8. Class
9. Integrity…….and most of all:
10. LOVE – but the Beatles already told us that years ago.


If you are willing to get up and go outside you can find lots of things to do with your kids and grandkids. Because of the ‘situation’ most activities are held indoors where there is a safe place to crouch and wait until the all-clear. In truth, there are SO many things to choose from – movies, folk-dancing and dance presentations, singing artists and singing together in a group – and it goes on and on. To find out all there is to do just go into the ‘applicitzia’ “Ashdodit” and you have all the activities listed chronologically. If you are like me and you feel that you already have enough ‘applicatziot’s I suggest getting ahold of a progeny or grandchild and have them go through the suggestions. If the activity requires a ticket you order the ticket via your phone. Although sometimes frustrating, when you get this app you can register the number of your car’s license plate and you have free parking by the seashore. Otherwise – and this is a very well-kept secret – you have to pay for parking at the beach. I don’t know how they collect the fee, but they will find you. So do yourself a favor and join the thousands of happy inhabitants of our fair city and download this app if you have not already done so. From time to time, they send your messages about what is happening around town. It’s worthwhile.


And here is a public service announcement: DRINK WATER!


And now, in the interests of raising public awareness to the rich variety of subcultures within our own eclectic culture, we present a list of some of our favorite Jewish Country and Western song titles. They are real – no kidding!
