BUT, upon
reflection, we would like to point out that it was NOT
the senior citizens who took:
The
melody out of music,
The
pride out of appearance,
The
romance out of love,
The
commitment out of marriage,
The
responsibility out of parenthood,
The
togetherness out of the family,
The
learning out of education,
The
service out of patriotism,
The
religion out of school,
The
Golden Rule from rulers,
The
nativity scene out of cities,
The
civility out of behavior,
The
refinement out of language,
The
dedication out of employment,
The
prudence out of spending, or
The
ambition out of achievement,
And we
certainly are NOT the ones who eliminated patience and
tolerance from personal relationships and interactions
with others!!
Does
anyone under the age of 50 know the lyrics to the Star
Spangled Banner? Just look at the Seniors with
tears in their eyes and pride in their hearts as they
stand at attention with their hand over their hearts!
Remember.......Inside
every older person is a younger person wondering what
the heck happened!
YES,
I'M A SENIOR CITIZEN!
the
life of the party...even if it lasts until
8 p.m.
I'm very good at opening childproof
caps with a hammer.
I'm usually interested in going
home before I get to where I am going.
I'm awake many hours before my body
allows me to get up.
I'm smiling all the time because I
can't hear a thing you're saying.
I'm very good at telling stories;
over and over and over and over...
I'm aware that other people's
grandchildren are not as cute as mine.
I'm so cared for -- long term care,
eye care, private care, dental care.
I'm
not grouchy, I just don't like traffic, waiting,
crowds, lawyers, loud music, unruly kids,
Toyota
commercials, Tom Brokaw, Dan Rather, barking
dogs, politicians and a few other things I can't
remember.
I'm sure everything I can't find
is in a secure place.
I'm wrinkled, saggy, lumpy, and
that's just my left leg.
I'm having trouble remembering
simple words like.......
I'm realizing that aging is not
for wimps.
I'm sure they are making adults
much younger these days, and when did they let kids
become policemen?
I'm wondering, if you're only as
old as you feel, how could I be alive at 150?
I'm a walking storeroom of
facts.....I've just lost the key to the storeroom
door.
Yes,
I'm a SENIOR CITIZEN and I think I am having the
time of my life!
Now if I
could only remember who sent this to me, I would
send it to many more!
Now-
Have I already sent this to you???????
