I’m Fine, How are You?

There's nothing the matter with me,

I'm just as healthy as can be,

I have arthritis in both knees,

And when I talk, I talk with a wheeze.

My pulse is weak, my blood is thin,

But I'm awfully well for the shape I'm in.

All my teeth have had to come out,

And my diet I hate to think about.

I'm overweight and I can't get thin,

But I'm awfully well for the shape I'm in.

Arch supports I need for my feet.

Or I wouldn't be able to go out in the

street.

Sleep is denied me night after night,

But every morning I find I'm all right.

My memory's failing, my head's in a spin.

But I'm awfully well for the shape I'm in.

The moral of this as the tale unfolds,

Is that for you and me, who are growing

old.

It is better to say "I'm fine" with a grin,

Than to let people know the shape we are

in.

I'm fine, how are you ?

- Denny Davis

Sale & Marketing Director’s Article

Hello Ella Springs Residents, Family Members and Friends,

My name is Amanda Thompson, and I am the Sales and Marketing Director here at

Ella Springs Senior Living Community! I absolutely love meeting new people every

day and have a genuine passion for helping others.

I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Public Relations from Texas Tech Universi-

ty in Lubbock, Texas (Gun’s up!) While I started my marketing career in the wedding

and events industry, I believe I have found my true place by being in the senior living

industry. I am blessed that each day I get to show off our beautiful community to new

residents and families, helping them to find the best senior living resources our North

Houston area has to offer. Each of you have a unique story to share and I am honored

that we get the opportunity to immediately meet with each other at the beginning of

your journey.

When I am not working you will find me spending time with my family and friends. I

have a wonderful husband, whom is my high school sweet heart, and two rambunc-

tious doggies! I have a love of dancing (ballet and tap), all things Louisiana and any

Cajun food, and relax by picking up a good novel or by watching one of my many

favorite tv shows.

I believe in always providing the utmost customer service to our residents, families and community members. I have an open-door policy, always, so please never hesitate to reach out to me or stop by my office at any time if I can be of assistance to you.
