Daily Thought: Unless You’re A Banana
Let best-selling author and editor-in-chief Kitty Norton be your own personal “Good-Vibe Guide”, as she shares a quick, daily dose of heartwarming inspiration and feel-good stories from her studio in Winona, Minnesota.
WINONA, MN – Hey Feel-Good Fam! I’m Kitty Norton and today, I want to start with a hilarious quote from Rose, played by the legendary Betty White: “My mother always used to say: The older you get, the better you get, unless you’re a banana.”
Isn’t that just the perfect reminder to embrace aging gracefully?
Speaking of aging gracefully, I recently received an email from Carolyn, a young woman who works at a nursing home. She shared a funny story about one of the residents she’s grown close to.
Carolyn wrote, “Mrs. Smith had just gotten new hearing aids, and I was curious to know how they were working out for her. When I asked, she gave me a mischievous grin and said, ‘Oh, they’re fantastic! I can hear everything perfectly now. It’s like I’ve got supersonic ears!’ Intrigued, I asked what her family thought about her new and improved hearing. That’s when Mrs. Smith let out a big laugh and confessed, ‘I haven’t told them yet! I just sit back and listen to them all talk when they come to visit. You wouldn’t believe the juicy secrets I’ve overheard! In fact, I’ve changed my will seven times since getting these hearing aids!’ I couldn’t help but chuckle at her clever strategy. Mrs. Smith sure knows how to make the most of her golden years!”
This email made my day! Mrs. Smith sounds like so much fun!

I’ll leave you with this: Embrace the wisdom and wit that comes with age. Life’s too short not to have a little fun and keep your loved ones on their toes!
Thanks for listening, Feel-Good Fam. Remember, you deserve to feel good today!
Xoxo,
Kitty
