Your Senior Years

Humor2 min read

In Your Senior Years, Consider This…

~ Your kids are becoming you… but your grandchildren are perfect!

~ Going out is good. Coming home is better!

~ You forget names. But it’s OK, because other people forgot they even knew you!

~ You realize you’re never going to be really good at anything… especially golf.

~ The things you used to care to do, you no longer care to do, but you really do care that you don’t care to do them anymore.

~ You sleep better on a lounge chair with the TV blaring than in bed. It’s called “pre-sleep.”

~ You miss the days when everything worked with just an “ON” and “OFF” switch.

~ You tend to use more 4 letter words… “what?”…“when?”… ???

~ Now that you can afford expensive jewelry, it’s not safe to wear it anywhere.

~ You notice everything they sell in stores is “sleeveless”!

~ What used to be freckles are now liver spots.

~ Everybody whispers.

~ You have 3 sizes of clothes in your closet… 2 of which you will never wear again.

~ But… Old is good in some things: Old Songs, Old movies, and best of all, OLD FRIENDS!!

Remember “It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.

TODAY IS THE OLDEST YOU’VE EVER BEEN… BUT, IT’S THE YOUNGEST YOU’LL EVER BE.
