We All Need Good Health and Happiness


Just yesterday I decided to tell all my listeners about the good changes that have come recently into the place hear called the “Water Mark”. For several years many of us have ben living alone and doing nothing important to live stronger and have a good life. What most of us like to do is to sit in our apartments sleeping or watching television. But now everyone seems to be feeling more hopeful about the future, and desiring strong positive changes in our community.

For instance the mangers of our building have decided that now is the time for them to create good activities for all our helthy residents hoping that they will improve there personal abilities and interests enough to feel strong and eager to live in the future. But some of them are still using there time to eat meels, roam around our building, or just stay inside their apartments because they feel that the available activities are not good enough for them to join. In addition many of those who’re or just stay inside. For example the managers of our building have decided that know is the time for them to create good activities for all our healthy residents, hoping that , hoping that they will improve their personal abilities and interests enough toffee strong and eager to live for the future. But some of them are still using most of there time to eat meals, roam around our building, or just stay inside there apartments because they feel that the available activities are not good enough for them to join. In adtition many of those who are already growing old with poor health do not believe they will have a good place to live anymore. So they spend all their time eating, sleeping, talking or just watching movies in the building’s auditorium.

But whether there is something interesting going on in our building it is likely to be a game with prizes, a big food party, or a god movie. And recently a few new activities have become available to everyone interested in improving their health, And some new helth specialists have come into our bilding regularly to teach beginners hoot move their bodies safely, walk without falling, and now they no longer need cane for walking.

Because planting flowers outside our building or dancing in our auditorium might become regular experience, specialists have ben chosen from other places to come to our bilding every weekend and help our people to improve there ability to walk safely or use a cane to help them.

I know our leaders are working strongly to bring good health and longer lives to everyone, and have helped a lot because now many of the people who were sitting alone in there apartments regularly have decided to join activities that are difficult but much better for increasing their health. All I can say is that everyone deserves good activities that will help them to live longer and stronger than they were before. Certainly everyone here should ave the opportunity to try activities that might move them too live longer and stronger than they expect, were before. Certainly, everyone here should have the opportunity to try activities that may move them to live longer and stronger than they expected, and also to enjoy all the time available here in the Water Mark building

Songs to Sing


From this Vally you say you are leaving. Do not hasten to bid me adue. Just remember the Read River valley. And the sweathart who loved you so true.

I have promised you darling that never Will a word from my lips cause you pain, I will stay by your side dear forever If you only will love me again

Come and sit by arm if you love me , Do not hasten to bid me adue Just remember the Read River value And the sweethart who loves you so true.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, You make me happy when skies are gray. Youl never know dear how much I love you. Please don’t take my sunshine away

The other knight dear when I was sleeping, I dreamt I held you in my arms, When I awoke dear I was mistaken, I just held my head and cried

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are gray’. You’l never know dear how much I love you. Please don’t take the sunshine away.

Give my regards to Broadway, Remember me to Herald square. . Tell all the boys at forty second street that I will soon be there Tell them of how I’m yearning to mingle with the old time crowd Just tell them xxxx and I’ll be there here soon

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxzxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Oh, I ain’t got a barrel of money, Maybe its ragged and funny. But we’ll travel along singing a song , side by side.

Oh we don’t know what’s coming tomorrow. Maybe it’s. trouble and sorrow. But we’ll travel along singing a song, side by side.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

On top of old Smokey all covered with snow, I Lost my true lover come a courtin to slow Though courtin is pleasure and parting is grief A false harted lover is worse than a thief.

He’ll hug you and kiss you and But a false harted lover will leave you in your grave. And the grave will decay you and turn you to dust, But a false harted lover will bring you to rust,

So come all you maidens and listen to me, Never leave your affection on a green willow tree. For the tree it will wither and turn into dust But a false harted lover will give you no trust

He’ll hug you and kiss you and bring you to lust, But a false hearted lover will turn you to dust. So come all you maidens and listen to me, Never leave your affections on a green willow tree.

For the tree it will wither and turn into dust Not more than one-man a poor girl can trust

On top of old smokey all covered with snow
I lost my true lover for courting too slow
For courting’s a pleasure and parting’s a grief But a false harted lover is worse than a thief

Sing Another Song For a Good Day


Today may seem like a hard time for singing because money and good health are scarce these days. Many of us have lost good jobs and our cities look worn out. Families cant afford enough money anymore. So today I thought it might be good for us to sing a song together. It’s one that made me happy long ago. So please sing with me now and we may all feel better soon.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high Theres a land that I heard of once in a lullaby Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue And clouds highing over the rainbow Can make all your dreams come true

Today I’ll wish upon a star And wake up when clouds are far behind me Where troubles melt like lemon drops High above our chimney tops That’s where you’ll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow Bluebirds fly Birds fly over the rainbow Why then, oh why can’t I?

I see trees of green and red roses too Watch them bloom for me and you And I think to myself What a wonderful world I see skys of blue and clouds of white Bright blessed days and dark sacred knights And I think to myself What a Wonderfull world The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky Are smiling on the faces of people passing bye I see friends shake hands and say hullow But what they really mean is I love youI hear babies cry, and I see them grow They learn much more than I will ever know And I think to myself what a wonderful world Yess, I think to myself what a wonderful world

Someday I’ll wish upon a star

Wake up where the clouds are far behind us

where trouble melts like lemon drops

High above the chimney tops

That’s where you’ll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds sing

Birds fly over the rainbow

Oh why, oh why can’t I?

I see trees of green and red Roses too

I’ll watch them bloom fore me and you

And I think to myself

What a wonderful world I see skies of blue, Clouds of white The brightness of day, the dark, say goodnight And I think to myself, what a Wonderfull world

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky Are also on the faces of people passing by And I think to myself what a wonderful world Yes, I think it’s a wonderful world

Let’s Vote For a Better World


Since the time for voting comes very soon I think everyone should do ther best to vote intelligently. But I am concerned about our understanding of the voting processes and weather all the results will be be accepted by Donald Trump or us.

Trump’s recent actions have made me recognize how little power we have as citizens while he as our president believes he has the right to do whatever he desires. Our rights and needs seem unimportant to him and his followers. His only interest appears to be having power, and that seems to be supported by many people who have followed him so far.

Right now, our country seems in poor shape with no positive actions or plans moving in. Instead thousands of people have died needlessly over the past seven months, and there seems to be no end to illness or death coming our way. Instead, we should be working hard to improve our health, learning, and ability to become strong and smart leaders in our community.

Because Trump fears that many of us won’t vote for him, he is determined to destroy our ability to mail in our votes in the coming election. According to his opinion the only proper way for voting is making a personal appearance.

Trump’s attempts to stop our voting suggests that he is ready to do whatever will give him four more years as president. But if he succeeds to do that our country may not survive those years.

Personally, I’m not ready to accept his claims or needs as legitament. Instead I hope that all wise Americans will share my feelings and vote wisely at this important time. In addition, I would like to hear any suggestions you have for our positive actions. We need to act strongly and fairly for our benefit and the continuing of our world.

It’s Time to Make The World Good Again


In writing a brief message to you people last week I didn’t explain my strong fears about our needs for the future. But today I want to explain my concerns even if I’m completely wrong. And especially, I would like to hear your opinions because many of you may be wiser about the changes in our country than I am.

When I wrote a brief comment in my recent article a few days ago, I didn’t mention how troubled I’ve was recently because of the dangerous happenings in our country, and our inability to control any of them. Over the past few months we have seen thousands of healthy people overcommed by a powerful and invisible virus. And so far, we have ben unable to persuade most of them to change there dangerous actions. Our only way to protect ourselves so far has been to wear masks over our faces, but unfortunately many of us have refused to use them during the most dangerous times, and have continued there unwillingness to comply.

Right now, I am strongly aware of the events that have severely damaged our country in the past year. And even now many people are still bringing serious problems into our lives. Even though we are heartened by the recent news report claiming that a new vaccine will soon be produced and protect us from the virus, too many people refuse to recognize all the dangerous changes still in our country now.

Even if we are protected from the virus in the future, we must deal with the dangerous events that have recently crept into our lives. For instance, parts of our country are being destroyed by huge fires that have killed many people already and we can do nothing to protect them. How many lives must be lost in order for us to be persuaded that our new dangers may continue for a long time and expand they’re destructions? Why do so many of us believe we are now returning to a safe and comfortable world when there is no such evidence?

Although I have never ben trained in science, I can’t stop believing that our world has changed dangerously in the recent past, and will get worse if we don’t end our foolish behavior and become thoughtful when we chose our actions? Dangerous pollutions are now being released everywhere by workers, industries and automobiles, poisoning our air and heating our climates beyond safety.

I believe we now must work together to restore the safe world we once new. But that will happen only if all of us change our behavior and make sure that our appointed leaders work to preserve our health, safety, and good jobs. They must also protect us from those thoughtless people who just want to make money for themselves without any regard for our safety or the future of our world.

Hello Again From Joanne


Unfortunately it was a long time before I was able to see my good friends again. But now I am able to write about them. I hope that all of you will be able to know what has happened because I tried to make my computer produce everything correctly so all my readers can read them. If any of my words have ben written wrong please remember that I am very old now and once I was a good writer.

Today I feel very proud to tell you that I can doo exercises regularly with a group of good women. But most of the other men around us do not do any exercises in the morning. Apparently they prefer to rest in the morning and do there work later.

t our men won’t come outside for in the morning. They prefer the afternoon and do there exercises at that time. Many of them like to play their games and other activities longer in the daytime.

When an afternoon begins there may also be aparties in our building, and that brings many people together. Every one who likes being with there friends also enjoys good food.

Right now I have nothing more to tell you about our exciting activities. But I will write to you again if we decide that we should also be good workers

Our Dirty Old World May Become Clean And Healthy once Again


When I came into our school this morning I was ready to work hard on the exercises we have ben practicing. But I was very surprised that I now can do difficult movements that I wasn’t able to make earlier. Because our exercising room is now much cooler than it was before all of us have ben able to do our activities much better than we expected.

Since most of us produced much better work than we expected I wondered what gave us all that power. From my opinion a surprising good change is more like a blessing than it can be a mistake. Because cool air has ben staying with us for sum time I thought the sky must be getting ready to give us a good world that would stay with us for the future. So we will all feel ready to do our best work and make our world a much better place than it was before.

All the positive changes I have wanted to see seem to be coming to us quickly and they are good pieces for our country. Our new buildings that were once very tall and shaky are now stronger and lower than they were before. So many of the people who were staying away from them are now going happily inside, but many of them are waring masks to make sure they will not be harmed by othrers that might be unhealthy.

I believe that our world will soon have clean air and strong buildings again. But that cant be done by magic. All of us need to work carefully to do our ability of health and fairness. We must also build a clean world and keep it that way for all the children who will be coming to us healthy and intelligent.

My Recent Life As Well As I Can Explain it


When I was just a young girl my family moved from their old home to the city of New Jersey. I was very happy to be there because my family believed that the school was the right place for me to learn. They were very proud to give me a good education. My parents just rented a new building where there are two large bedrooms for my parents and one more for me and my sister Helen. Fortunately, it was large enough for both of us. We got new bouncy beds and tables big enough for the toys that our father made fore us recently.

As we moved into our new city I was old enough to chose a good school near our home. Outside it there was a big playground that was a good place for us to exercise when our schoolwork was done for the day. So I very soon began to play games with new girls I met who were about the same age and size I had. And when I fell down the girls would pick me up and brush the dirt off my cloths.

When I entered our new school I met more young girls who became friendly with me for a long time. When we played big hard games I sometimes fell on the ground, but they helped me to get up and I finally became an adult. Then I was able to have better health, intelligence, and physical attractiveness. I also managed to stop falling on the ground completely, and most of my scars finally melted away. So I became a good young woman with a sweet face, a healthy body, and the ability to teach young children. At there school they worked hard and performed very well for a long time on a school stage.

As I grew older I moved back to my family’s home. But shortly after that I met a man who became my husband and we had several children. Later we moved to Europe where my husband began working as a scientist for many different animals. He was very successful in various countries where we chose to stay. However, after several years living and working together my husband died unexpectedly. So I moved back to the United States and continued to work as a teacher in American schools. I began as a first grade teacher and finished as a school principal for two large schools. At that time I was a praised teacher because of my work, ethics, and my desire to teach students in the best ways I thought possible. When I grew older, I turned to writing about how children and their teachers should be treated in all American schools.

Our Good Old World Has Risen Once Again


In my own mind I now can see a large new world around us filled with large clouds, shining snow, and human poverty all around it. Today our largest dream is to be able to bild a beautiful country once again and encourage everyone who is able to join us with well trained jobs and encourage many more of them to join us for good work together.

Early In the beginning of our efforts to increase our working power we must be willing to work strongly and bring many others who will join us and produce eventually more of the good work we have decided to produce much more find products to encourage more of our young workers who are still impoverished and without special training we must allow them to join our trained learners and move over our country into a strong world that has just existed beautifully in our old good times. And after that we will be able to create a brand new good world to make everyone healthy, happy and very powerful once again.
