During our lives
Some of us have
A mountain placed
In front of us.
We take five steps up –
And slide back two!
How do we think we will make it up to the top – what to do?
I was almost there,
To the top of my mountain,
When I said a prayer;

 

“God, please help me find my way to
be my ‘Fulfilled Best Self ’ again.”

 

Lo and behold, I found myself
Living on the top of the Mountainside Apartments at
Morningside, A marvelous senior retirement community.
The Director, Staff, and Residents show caring and love,
humor and laughter.

 

What a blessing to be my “Fulfilled Best Self ”
at the top of my mountain.

 

It’s natural to wonder what Heaven must be like.
Well, living in the Morningside community is
just practice for living in Heaven.
