- Blessed are they who have suffered through preparing Medicare Part A and Part B applications, for their health care shall be covered by Plan A (or was it Plan B?)
- Blessed are they who are already on Social Security, for they shall obtain their benefits from a secure lock box.
- Blessed are they whose knees have succumbed to arthritis, for they shall possess robotic replacements.
- Blessed are they who are losing their sense of balance, for they shall be lifted upon the wings of angels (or else on a really good walker.)
- Blessed are they who are on statins, for their arteries shall not get clogged with plaque, provided they stop eating deep fried food and cut down on saturated fats.
- Blessed are they who downsized to a condominium, for they shall have their lawns mowed and their snow cleared for them.
- Blessed are they who serve on their neighborhood watch, for they shall be known by where they live and someone will direct them there if they get lost.
- Blessed are they who volunteer in their community, for they shall be called “goody two shoes” even if they wear orthopedic oxfords.
- Blessed are they who had the foresight (and financial wherewithal) to purchase long term care insurance, for their children shall inherit their estates.
- Blessed are they who have signed do-not-resuscitate orders, for they shall not burden our beneficent government (and their fellow taxpayers) by being put on life support when their mental faculties have gone on to greener pastures.
- Blessed are they who do crossword puzzles and sudokus, for they… oh, dear. I forget why they shall be blessed.
- Blessed are they who do not complain to their spouses all day long and drive them crazy when they stop working, for they shall not be suffocated under a pillow in the dead of night.
That makes an even dozen and you didn’t have to go to the mount to receive them. So I think my job is done for today, except for one more thing: Bless you!
